P. veyseli
occurs in southeastern Europe, southern
Russia
, northeastern
Turkey
, northern
Iran
, Transcaucasia, and Turkestan (Ciplak
et al.
2002). The northwestern edge of its range is in the Pannonian part of eastern
Austria
and the CR (Franz 1961; Kaltenbach 1970; Holuša & Chládek 1998).
P. veyseli
has not been found beyond the borders of Pannonia in the CR (Holuša 2003; Holuša
et al.
2008), in
Slovakia
(Holuša & Chládek 1998; Krištín
et al.
2004), or even in
Austria
(Zuna-Kratky
et al.
2009).
In the CR,
P. veyseli
has been found at only four localities (Holuša
et al.
2012b). It seems to have disappeared from two localities in the 1960s. The research suggests that
P. veyseli
in the CR is on the brink of extinction because of extreme fragmentation of suitable habitats and degradation of optimal habitats (Holuša
et al.
2012b).
