This is one of the species that Collin described from Egypt. Although it has not been found on mainland Africa south of the Sahara, it has been recorded from Oman ( Ebejer 1996) and is included here for completeness as it could easily be more widely distributed. The long yellow lamellae referred to by Collin are the surs, and these are indeed long and broad with somewhat sinuous margins as illustrated by him.

Distribution: Egypt, Oman.
