Type locality: Har Hermon ( Israel ). Holotype ♂ (SMNHTAU). Male terminalia: Figs. 7–9 ( MacGowan & Freidberg 2008 ), Figs. 27–31 ( MacGowan 2014 ) Distribution: Israel , Turkey . There is little specific habitat information although MacGowan & Freidberg (2008) note that on Mt. Hermon, Israel the specimens in the type series were probably swept from three species of oak: Quercus boissieri Reut. , Q. cerris L., and Q. libani Oliv. This species seems to prefer higher altitudes, in Israel records are from above 1500 m ( MacGowan & Freidberg 2008 ) and Turkish records are from over 1200m . Most specimens have been captured in May, but the flight period extends until the end of June.
