C. pseudosimilis was only collected once in April in the estuary of the Oued Réghaia near Alger in Algeria . Distribution. C. pseudosimilis is cited here for the first time in the Maghreb in Algeria and for the first time in Portugal , considerably enlarging its distribution area. At both localities it was collected in river mouths. Until recently this species was only known from Caucasian countries: Armenia , Azerbaidjan and Georgia ( Mikhailov 1990 ) and the Krasnodar and Kabardino-Balkaria regions of Russia . ( Mikhailov 1992 , 2003 ). Bosmans et al . (2013) expanded the distribution area to Greece , Crete .
