Literature records

Ascher & Pickering (2021).

Remarks

The distribution maps of Warncke ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002) indicate the presence of A. hyemala in Iran, and one specimen could be found in the Warncke collection. It is unclear whether the listing of Ascher & Pickering (2021) is supported by an additional source. The status of A. hyemala repressa Warncke, 1975 is unclear and requires revision, as it may consistitute a distinct species.

Distribution

South-eastern Europe, Ukraine, Russia (European part), Turkey, Israel and the West Bank, Jordan *, Syria *, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Osytshnjuk et al. 2008).
