Systema naturae per regna tria naturae, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis, 1, 602.

Type locality. England .

Range. Palearctic (in several subspecies). Wide spread through most of Europe including the Greek mainland, Cyclades, Dodecanese islands, Crete, eastwards to Turkey and Iran, Afghanistan to Central Asia, Russian Far East and Mongolia ( Leclercq, 1960; Chvála et al., 1972; Müller et al., 2011a, 2012a; Chvála, 2013).

New records. We caught two males with a Malaise trap on Rhodes Island , Mt. Attavyros 900– 1000m, south of Embonas , in early May 1989 and a male and female by hand net at the outskirts of Rhodes city in an irrigated garden, 50 m a.s.l., in early June 2005. Several males and females were collected from a Malaise trap on Lesvos Island , north of Agiásos , 450 m a.s.l. in April , and from June to September 2005 (new record for the Northern Aegean islands ). The species was regularly observed in Crete (for several years from April to August ), and most recently, three specimens were observed in mid-July 2023 on a window of a laboratory of Foundation for Research and Technology ( FORTH) near Heraklion. Two specimens were collected on Cyprus in the northern outskirts of the village of Pano Panagia , 600 m a.s.l., from a Malaise trap at the edge of an old natural olive grove, one in early June , another in mid-September 1995. This species seems to be rare in Cyprus , no other specimens were seen or collected on numerous trips (new record for Cyprus). Two specimens were collected by V. Kravchenko in Israel , in the Upper Galilee , Mt. Meron, 800 m a.s.l., in mid-May 2017, in a light trap (new record for Israel and the Levant) .
