Specimens examined. Alborz Province, Sharestanak: 1 female, 35° 58’ 09” N, 51° 21’ 06” E, altitude: 2,174 m a.s.l., ant’s nest, 22 June 2009, leg. Omid Joharchi; Taleqan, Mehran Village: 2 females, 36° 12’ 22” N, 50° 56’ 00” E, altitude: 2,104 m a.s.l., ant’s nest, 16 September 2009, leg. Omid Joharchi. Qazvin Province, Abyek County, Ziaran Rural District, Khoznan Village: 1 female, 36° 07’ 18” N, 50° 32’ 59” E, altitude: 1,635 m a.s.l., humus, 27 July 2008, leg. Omid Joharchi. Yazd Province, Taft City, Deh-e Bala Village: 2 females, 31° 36’ 08” N, 54° 07’ 34” E, altitude: 2,482 m a.s.l., soil of walnut tree, 1 April 2013, leg. Zahra Dehghan.
Habitat preference in Iran. Soil, leaf-litter, humus, and ants’ nest.
Provincial distribution in Iran. Alborz, Guilan, Qazvin, Tehran, and Yazd (Ahadiyat & Cheraghali, 2012; Baroozeh & Ahadiyat, 2012; Mojahed et al., 2017; this paper).
World distribution. Asia (Iran) (Mojahed et al., 2017; this paper), Europe (Germany and Italy) (Karg, 1993; Schrader & Bayer, 2000; Mašán, 2007; Mašán & Halliday, 2014).
Notes. Onchodellus strigifer usually occurs in relatively highland areas at the altitudes 1,635 –2,482 m a.s.l., although Mojahed et al. (2017) found just one specimen at a low altitude (72 m a.s.l.). This species is rare in arable land, and occurs mainly in soil with high lime content (Karg, 1993).
