Revision is required to clarify range extents. Remarks. This species occurs at more northern latitudes and has no verified records from the Levant. The literature record from Israel ( Bodenheimer 1937 ; Warncke 1969 ) may refer to a misidentified A . marmora Nurse , which has a more southern distribution and is known from Israel .
