This species has mostly north-western distribution in the country and is currently known from the provinces Badghis, Balkh, Farah, Herat, Jowzjan, Kandahar ( Wagner et al. 2016 and see therein for other unmapped records on p. 510).

Our records.

Remarks.

This record confirmed the species’ previously known records from Mazar-i-Sharif and Balkh Province. Therefore, we did not map this record.
