Previous records from Egypt. Alexandria governorate (Zaher & Shehata, 1969); Giza governorate (Zaher & Shehata, 1969; Zaher, 1986); Sharkia governorate (Zaher, 1986).

Remarks. No additional specimens of this species were found in this study. It was originally described from the holotype female and five paratype females collected in Giza governorate and Burg El-Arab, Alexandria governorate, Egypt. The original description was rather detailed, with illustrations of the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the idiosoma, but with measurements of only dorsal and ventrianal shields.
