Originally described as Austrian, but the type locality was later shown to lie just on the German side of the border. However, A. seewaldi has subsequently been found on Austrian territory as well (Christian & Spötl 2010). Regarded as threatened with extinction in Germany (Voigtländer et al. 2011).
