For Finland check Salmela, 2012b, 2012c, and citations below. For Great Britain check Stubbs, 2021, and citations below. Algeria in Palaearctic Catalogue (Savchenko et al., 1992) is probably based on a mistake by Savchenko, 1986c, for Algeciras, which goes back to a record in Lackschewitz, 1940b, as dalei, a record now referred to maroccana (see Stary, 2009b).
