Distribution and habitat. Nast (1972) mentioned the distribution of the species in the countries in Western and Eastern Europe, central and northern Asia, in the northeast of Iran ( Fig. 29 ). This distribution appears to be the continuation of the extralimited distribution of the species in central Asia. The records of this species in Iran probably indicate the south border of the distribution of the taxon with lowest latitude. Dlabola (1981) recognized the species as an arboreal-pontomediterranean faunal element.
