Type locality. Europe.

Range. Palearctic, from Morocco and Algeria widely distributed through most of Europe, so far not recorded from some Mediterranean Islands, east wards it is spread to Western Siberia, and Kazakhstan as far south as Turkey and the Levant in Israel ( Theodor, 1965; Leclercq, 1966a; Chvála et al., 1972; Chvála, 2013).

New records. We collected two females from horses in Crete, near Knossos, in late May 2022 (new record for Crete). We caught one female from a donkey in Thasos, in early July 2007 (new record for Northern Aegean islands) .
