LITERATURE RECORDS: Birula [1936]: 50 (südlichen Kurdistans, Oertlichkeit Kani-Palanka, Nomadenlager Dar-Dedaban); Roewer [1941]: 106 ( Mesopotamien, (im südl. Kurdistan-Gebirgsland bei Kani-Palanka)); El-Hennawy [1999]: 97–98 ( Iraq); Harvey [2003]: 299 (Kani-Palanka, Nomadenlager DarDedaban, Southern Kurdistan, Iraq); Hussen, Ahmed [2017]: 90–97 (Erbil, Iraq).

REMARKS: R. kurdistanica , which is known only from the type locality Kani-Palanka , Nomadenlager Dar-Dedaban, Iraq [ Birula, 1936] and the locality is not seen in the current map and old maps. Regarding “Nomadenlager Dar-Dedaban” (nomad camp door sentry); Nomadenlager is a German word meaning nomad camp and Dar-Dedaban is a Persian word meaning door sentry. So, it is understood from the label that the specimen collector was a nomad camp door sentry. On the other hand, this species is recently reported from northern Iraq [ Hussen, Ahmed, 2017], R. kurdistanica is endemic to the fauna of Iraq.
