Remarks: H. communis is the most common species in the genus, at least in Europe, but also with a wide distribution beyond that. It has even been introduced to the American continent. As a result of the wide distribution, various morphological variants have been described, but these have not yet been studied in detail throughout the entire range.

The flight period is June to the end of September. H. communis was collected in all regions of the country, with the exception of south-east Anatolia. Our compilation adds 15 provinces to the distribution data. It is frequently recorded in Turkey (25 provinces).

Distribution: Throughout Europa, North Africa, Central and Northern Asia ( DATHE & PROSHCHALYKIN 2018); Turkey: Amasya, Ankara, Bolu, Bursa, İzmir, Kocaeli, Kütahya, Mersin, Sinop ( WARNCKE 1972); Erzurum ( ÖZBEK 1977); Antalya, Artvin, Aydın, Bitlis, Erzincan, Erzurum, Hakkâri, Kars, Konya, Manisa, Nevşehir, Niğde, Rize, Van, Yalova.
