General distribution. Naucoris m. maculatus is distributed in western Europe ( Great Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Italy), Anatolia, and Israel ( Polhemus 1995d, Nau & Brooke 2005). The records from the British Isles are very recent (Nau & Brooke 2005) and the species is probably dispersing in north-western Europe. In southern parts of Portugal, Spain and Italy, in Sardinia, Sicily, and north-western Africa it is replaced by N. m. conspersus Stål, 1876 ( Polhemus 1995d).

Identification. Stichel (1955), Poisson (1957), Nieser (1972), Tamanini (1979), Nieser et al. (1994).
