Range Description

This species is known only from four specimens from its type locality, originally specified as 'an island in the southern Red Sea'. There is evidence to suggest (though not definitively prove) that this refers to Nokra Island in the Dahlak Archipelago of Eritrea (M. Largen pers. comm.) and maybe Dissei Island (Largen 1997).
