Distribution comment: Ukraine: The only record of this species by Freiberg ([Фрейберг], 1897), from modern Dnipropetrovsk Area) is mentioned as doubtful by Mikhailov (1997). Freiberg’s collection is lost, and the occurrence of the species in Ukraine has not been proved by later studies. Romania: marked as doubtful (Weiss & Petrișor 1999).
Global distribution (WSC 2021): South-eastern Europe, Turkey, Middle East, Caucasus
