Until 2012, R. mehelyi had been recorded from 14 localities in Iran. Records of new localities, updated distribution maps and new echolocation-call information are important contributions of this rarely species. This contribution, reports ten new locality records for R. mehelyi in Iran that increases the species known range mainly over Zagros Mts.
