Comment: The original description is based on a unique specimen from Armenia (IABLOKOFF-KHNZORIAN 1962). The holotype is a female and illustrated in Figs 1, 79. The species was originally assigned to Zyras STEPHENS, 1835 and subsequently moved to Myrmoecia by MARUYAMA (2006). The above records represent the first records since the original description and the first records from Israel, Jordan, and Iran. The currently known distribution is illustrated in Map 1.
