Holotype , male. USA ( New York : White Plains ) ( AMNH ). Distribution: Cosmopolitan. Egyptian localities: Coastal Strip: Alexandria ( Burla & Bächli 1978 ; Bächli et al . 1982), Abu Sir ( Mourad & Mallah 1960 ). Dates of collection: March & April (Bächli et al . 1982), August to December ( Mourad & Mallah 1960 ). Remarks: This is an Australasian and Nearctic species, not Palaearctic, so we think it was probably misidentified by Bächli et al . (1982). Unfortunately the specimens of this identification are not available to ensure the identification.
