The record of the species from Egypt lacks precise specimen details (Kuhlmann et al. 2014), but can be confirmed through the USNM specimen. The species is newly recorded from Israel. Warncke (1977) reported the species from Gibraltar, but Bogusch (2023) notes that this was a misidentification of D. ardens, with the specimen currently in collection MSCA, to be deposited in the OÖLM collection (P. Bogusch, pers. comm. December 2024).
