Comments: Australia, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Spain, Turkey to China ( Šrámek-Hušek et al. 1962; Thiéry and Pont 1987; Scanabissi Sabelli and Tommasini 1990; Timms 2009b). Possibly northern Africa: Monod (1969b) figures specimens collected from Bandiagara, Mali. Thiéry and Pont (1987) provide a redescription form French material, and Scanabissi Sabelli and Tommasini (1990) provide SEMs of material from Italy. The Chinese forms need to be re-examined and directly compared with the western forms. The record from Australia ( Timms 2009b) needs to be examined more closely and is probably something different.
