Crimea, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel & West Bank (Fig. 18; Warncke 1974 a, 1975; Osytshnjuk et al. 2008; Pisanty et al. 2018, as A. statusa; Wood et al. 2020, as A. statusa). Although the key presented by Osytshnjuk et al. (2008: 142) includes only the female sex and not the distintive male, the listing from Crimea can be confirmed through personal correspondence from Erwin Scheuchl: “ I own one female and three genitalized males from Crimea: 1 ♂, 18. 06. 1997 \ Crimea, Balaklava District \ W. Cholodorov leg. 1 ♂, 18. 06. 1997 \ Crimea, Balaklava Area, Chernorech \ W. Cholodorov leg. 1 ♀, 09. 06. 1997 \ Crimea, Balaklava Area, Chernorech \ W. Cholodorov leg. 1 ♂, 06. 06. 1997 \ Ukraine, Crimea, Area Tylovoje Village \ Ivanov leg. [Chernorechye = Chernorechye, 44.55°N, 33.68°E, Tylovoje Village = Tylove Village. Osytshnjuk actually first encountered the male of A. caprimulga in 1997 during her stay in Munich at the Grünwaldt Collection. The female from Alushta, which Osytshnjuk used to include it in the Central and Eastern Palaearctic Key, was confirmed by Grünwaldt as A. caprimulga ”.
