Distribution and habitat. North Africa, Southern Europe, Yugoslavia, Transcaucasia, Northern parts of Western Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia (Mozaffarian & Wilson, 2011). The species has a rather general distribution in Iran (Fig. 30), being in accordance with the rather wide range of distribution of the species in Palaearctic, from north Africa to central Asia. Dlabola (1981, 1971) mentioned this species as an arboreal– pontomediterranean and transeremian faunal element. The species has been recorded from steppes in mountains, on broad leaf plants such as Acer, Quercus, in vineyards and gardens with Citrus, palm and pomegranate and on Tamarix from 220 m to 2000 m elevation in Iran (Dlabola 1981) and from 4 m to 3022 m elevation in this study. The wide range of the recorded elevation for this species, along with its wide geographic distribution in various latitudes are remarkable. Possible occurence of cryptic species among the populations of this taxon or its high ability for adapting to very different environmental biotopes need to be investigated more throughly. The species is also reported as a ‘pest ‘ on Quercus in Northern and Western Iran (Abaii 2000) but no record was found to confirm any economic damage caused by this species.
