Egyptian localities: Eastern Desert: Wadi Askhar, Wadi Geniva, Wadi Hoff, Wadi Rashid, Wadi Rishrash, Wadi Shabek, Wadi Um Girfan. Gebel Elba: Wadi Edeib, Wadi Ehameib [Sources: Efflatoun (1925) and Shaumar & Kamal (1978) (under the name P. serratus ) and the examined museum material].
Activity period in Egypt: January to May.
Remarks: According to Stuckenberg (1954), the specimens recorded in Egypt by Efflatoun (1925) under the name Paragus serratus are actually this species, and all Egyptian records should probably be assigned likewise. Paragus serratus is not a North African species at all.
