PREVIOUS RECORDS: This species was hitherto only known from the female holotype from the “plains of Jordan ” (type locality) (O. P.- Cambridge, 1872). The male of this species is still undescribed and will be presented in the near future. This species is here newly recorded for the fauna of Israel .
