Chorotype. Type 6 [3.02 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. Western Mediterranean : Spain , southern France, Corsica, Malta and Italy.

Italian distribution. Sicily ( Chandler 2004a) and Sardinia.

Notes. The Sardinian specimens agree better with Corsican material in having only faintly marked wings but occasional examples have markings more approaching those found in Maltese material (Chandler & Gatt 2001). The Sicilian record by Chandler (2004a) refers to 1 ♂ from 7 km north-west of Francavilla [di Sicilia, Messina province], 14.v.1981 (leg. H. Malicky, ZSM; det. N. Caspers) .
