Distribution

Unclear, due to confusion with A. elmaria (see Gusenleitner 1998). Probably only confirmed from eastern Turkey and Iran *. Records from Israel and the West Bank (Warncke 1969) are A. elmaria (Pisanty et al. 2022a); records from Cyprus (Varnava et al. 2020) are probably all referable to A. elmaria . Inspection of material previously assigned to these two species is necessary to clarify exact ranges.
