Remarks: This species was listed as recorded from Egypt by Steyskal & El-Bialy (1967) , and mapped by Dirickx (1994) , but no specimen or published record supports their assertion. It has apparently been recorded from Israel ( Dirickx 1994 ). Sparsely vegetated, dry, unimproved grassland is a preferred environment for this species ( Speight 2017 ).
