This species was incorrectly reported from Cyrenaica by Ribolla (1923) and the record was repeated by Grixoni (1926) and Franchini and Giordano (1929). Zavattari (1930) considered Ribolla’s work as a whole to be unreliable and Scortecci (1939) noted that Ribolla’s record needed confirmation. There are no confirmed records of Walterinnesia west of the Nile Valley ( Baha El Din 2006a).
