Description

Aleochara (Xenochara) maculipennis BAUDI DI SELVE, 1857

Iran: 1 ex., Kermanshah province, Harsin: Nosratabad, 34°12'N, 47°46'E, 1700 m, 24.VI.2004, leg. Frisch (MNHUB); 1 ex., Lorestan province, SE Dorud, Saravand, 2050 m, 27.VI.2004, leg. Frisch (cAss).

Comment:

The above specimen from Turkey was probably collected in Yarpuz in Antalya; to my knowledge, there is no Turkish locality called "Yarpaz". The previously known distribution of this species was confined to Cyprus, " Syria ", and Turkey; in Turkey it was recently recorded from Konya, Kahramanmaraş, Urfa, and Hakkâri (ASSING 2007a). The above specimens from Iran, Iraq, and Israel represent new country records.
