This species was described from Sicily and recorded from
Tunisia
by
Normand (1936)
(Ghardimaou and Souk El Arba [
Jendouba
]), although the later author was unsure about the identification of the
Hybalus
specimens he studied. The record from
Jendouba
probably belongs to
H. algiricus
. We don’t know any specimen to confirm the presence of this species on Tunisian territory.
