World distribution. United States — 21 females were collected under bark of walnut trees ( Juglans sp. ) ( Rack, 1973) .

Material examined. 1♀, Iran, Golestan province, Gorgan, Nodijeh village (36.49°N, 54.16°E, 28 m a.s.l.), extracted from soil, litter and rotten leaves sample under Oak trees ( Quercus sp. ) in vicinity of dry rice cultivation, 1.vi.2020, leg.: V. Rahiminejhad GoogleMaps .

Remarks. Dolichomotes crossi has only been recorded from Nearctic region ( Rack 1973), so, this is the first record of the species from Palaearctic region. Previously, only one species of this genus, D. sinuspersicus has been recorded from Iran, Hormozgan province ( Mortazavi et al., 2015).
