Remarks. Linsenmaier (1999) erroneously reported Ijoukak as the type locality for the specimen collected by Nadig in July 1932, which was conversely collected at Goundafa, on the Hight Atlas. This species is spreading in southern Europe and it was recently found in Portugal ( Rosa et al. 2015c) and in Spain (P.R., unpublished data).
