Notes: The distribution of this species in Israel was discussed by Zonstein & Marusik (2019) and Magalhaes et al. (2022). It has been revealed that the range of this species

includes the coastal, lowland and montane areas throughout the country, from the northern border to the environs of Be'er Sheva' in the south. The species does not occur south of Be'er Sheva', being replaced by a few other congeners. One of these local species, previously known only from males, is considered below.
