William Kilpatrick comm. pers.). Kock et al. (1972) and Kock &amp; Nadler (1983) expanded the range of this species to extend from Western Iran to Israel, a distribution perpetuated by others including Musser &amp; Carleton (1993). Kryštufek &amp; Kefelioğlu (2001) redescribed M. irani based on the holotype and three topotypes and restricted its known distribution back to the type locality. However, analysis of cytochrome b (Cytb) sequences (Kryštufek et al. 2009) suggested that M. irani also occurred in Balkusan, Turkey; and Kryštufek et al. (2010) recognized this taxon as a new subspecies (M. i. karamani). The range of M. i. karamani has been expanded to include Lebanon (Kryštufek et al. 2013) and western Iran (Mahmoudi et al. 2014).</p><p>HABITAT. — Steppe in mountains, grasslands with clumps of bushes, cultivated fields, and orchards at elevations of 1000-2100 m (Kryštufek &amp; Kefelioğlu 2001; Kryštufek 2017a).</p><p>IUCN. — Data deficient.</p><p>REFERENCES. — Thomas (1921); Ellerman (1948); Kock et al.
