The distributional area of the species reaches from North West Africa in the southwest to Great Britain and Germany in the north, respectively from the Iberian Peninsula in the west along the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea to Israel in the east (JAEGER 2007: 348, 2008: 1528-1530). Although an occurence in Turkey could be expected due to the known records from Bulgaria and Lesvos, it had not been recorded from this country. Here it is reported for Turkey for the first time.
