Remarks: The province Van has been added to the distribution list of H. jantaris . The available data show that the occurrence of this species is limited to the eastern part of eastern Anatolia. It is a high mountain species living at an altitude of 2100–3000 m. It was rarely collected in Turkey (2 provinces, Fig. 17 .III). In order to specify the distribution data of this species exactly, further investigations should be carried out, especially on the high mountains of the country.
