Name
Stenus limicola Korge, 1967 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Chorology
Described from the Erzincan Province in the east of Turkey (Korge 1967[1]: 251), Stenus limicola was later recorded for Iran (Smetana 2004[2]: 544) and the north of Iraq (Puthz 2010[3]: 61). We collected Stenus limicola in the Zagros Mountains and Kerman (Fig. 12). The gap of records between eastern Turkey (Tunceli Province; Anlaş 2009[4]: 280) and the Central Zagros Mountains most probably is a collecting artifact.
Biogeographical characterization
Owing to the sparse records of Stenus limicola, it is not possible to explain its Irano-Anatolian distribution pattern with de Lattin’s hypothesis.
Bionomics
Because descriptions of many species of the Stenus glacialis group were based on single specimens and the species never collected again, Assing (2003[5]:711) assumed they inhabit unknown subterranean habitats and are found only by chance. Stenus limicola seems to be restricted to high elevations. In Iran, we collected it between 2860 and 3000 m.
