Remarks. This species was present in Al-Ghab Lake and Al-Amiq Lake (Orontes River basin), but due to the drying up of these two lakes since the beginning of the sixties of the last century, the presence of this species was not recorded in the Orontes River basin or anywhere else in Syria. Needs to be reconfirmed by field specimens.
