Chorology.

Unlike the other representatives of the Stenus glacialis species group in Iran, Stenus parcior is widely distributed throughout the Balkans, Anatolia, Cyprus, Lebanon, and Iran as far east as Uzbekistan. The record from Pol-e Dokhtar in the southwestern Zagros Mountains ( Puthz 2008: 171) at less than 1000 m elevation constitutes the easternmost record of this species (Fig. 12 ).

Biogeographical characterization.

The distribution of Stenus parcior in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East corresponds to the expansive Pontomediterranean faunal element.
