Remarks

The source of the Ascher & Pickering listing is unclear.The distribution maps of Warncke (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002) indicate that A. quadrimaculata is present in northern Iran, though no specimens could be found in the Warncke collection. The species does occur in eastern Turkey and Armenia, so it is considered highly likely to be present in Iran.

Distribution

Albania, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002).
