Previously described from
Israel
(Lower Galilee: Meron) as subspecies of
A. suturalis
DEJEAN 1829
but by being fairly different from this species it is ranked here as distinct species. Beside the
types
there were only
two female
specimens from
Syria
(Sanameïn) available, obviously belonging to the new taxon but the author underlined that males should corroborate the occurrence in
Syria
. As obviously rare or at most only locally distributed, these records seem worthy to be registered as giving justified reason of assumption that the species really occurs in areas west of the Golan.
