It was recorded from Turkey by different authors ( Crosskey and Zwick 2007 ). Furthermore, it is similar to S. degrangei Dorier and Grenier (1960), which is also common in most countries of southern Europe. Crosskey and Zwick (2007) emphasized the similarity of the two species and that synonymy should be considered.
