Localities: No specimens of this species have come into my liands. It lias been reported only 

 once from India, by Gurney (1907), who examined specimens in tlie Indian Museum 

 labeled "J. A. W. Alurray, Sind." 



Reported from: The greater part of Europe; North Africa; Palestine. The collections 

 nearest India were made at Sudak in the Crimea, and Bingol Dagh in Armenia. (Cf. 

 Daday (1910).)
