Remark.
This species is known to inhabit the Levant area, northern Iraq to Central eastern Turkey (see also
Gittenberger and Menkhorst 1991
). Kemaliye is now the northernmost record for this species. The subspecific division of this species needs further attention. We here attribute the specimens from Kemaliye to the nominotypical subspecies in accordance to
Gittenberger and Menkhorst (1991)
.
