Distribution
.
Arabian Peninsula
:
Yemen
(d’Orbigny 1898b).
Africa
:
Djibouti
,
Somalia
(d’Orbigny 1898b),
Eritrea
(d’Orbigny 1913a),
Ethiopia
(
Zunino 1975
).
Remarks
. First record for
Oman
. If the “
south
Arabia
” by d’Orbigny is to be understood as
Yemen
, then the known Arabian distribution of the species has to be transferred from
Saudi
Arabia
to
Yemen
.
