Distribution. Israel (Bouček 1956), Egypt (new record).

Hosts. Collected very close to the nest of Cataglyphis bicolor (Fabricius) ( Formicidae: Formicinae) around the roots of the field binweed, Convolvulus arvensis L. ( Convolvulaceae). We suspect this to be the host because Eucharis (Eucharisca) bedeli Cameron was reared from C. bicolor (Bedel 1895) .
