Remarks: This species was listed as recorded from Egypt by Steyskal & El-Bialy (1967), and mapped by Dirickx (1994), but no specimen or published record supports their assertion. It has apparently been recorded from Israel (Dirickx 1994). Sparsely vegetated, dry, unimproved grassland is a preferred environment for this species (Speight 2017).
