Previous records.

Wadi Mizbil, Wadi Salbukh, Wadi Shaib Luha (Mroczkowski 1979) in Riyadh Province.

Remarks.

The material mentioned by Mroczkowski (1979) needs to be examined, as it probably belongs to a different species. Specimens from Ibex Reserve, initially noted by Al Dhafer et al. (2012), were subsequently identified as A. scalaris . Similarly, specimens from Wadi Hanifa, identified by Abdel-Dayem et al. (2023), were later determined to belong to A. vanharteni and A. posticalis .

Distribution.

The species is found in the arid areas within the central region (Riyadh Province) of Saudi Arabia (Fig. 5) between 560 and 680 m a. s. l. It is globally known from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Finland (introduced), Egypt, Iran, Israel, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Palestine, Poland (introduced), Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tadzhikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
