Chorology.

Stenus ganglbaueri is distributed from Italy and the Balkans across Ukraine, Anatolia, the Levant, Syria, Caucasia, and Iran eastwards to Turkmenistan. The species is widespread in northern Iran as far east as the Binalud Mountains (Fig. 22 ), but a find in Kerman Province, which considerably extends the known range of Stenus ganglbaueri to the south, suggests a much wider distribution in the western Iranian Plateau.

Biogeographical characterization.

Due to its distribution in the southeastern Mediterranean, we consider Stenus ganglbaueri to be a Pontomediterranean faunal element.
