Le Berre (1989) plotted this taxon in southwestern Libya, although Libya is not mentioned in his list of distributions by country. According to Sindaco and Jeremčenko (2008), this species has been recorded from the Ahaggar in Algeria, Aïr Mountains in Niger, Adjar des Ifhoras in Mali, and Tibesti in Chad, among other parts of North Africa. Although it might be expected to occur in the Akakus Mountains near Ghat or in the Tibesti region on southeastern Murzuq, there are no verified records from the territory of Libya ( Joger 1984).
