Distribution.

Found across central and southern Europe (including Bulgaria *), the Mediterranean basin (including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya), east to Israel, Lebanon *, Syria *, Jordan *, Turkey, Iraq *, the Caucasus, and the Pamir mountains in Central Asia ( Popov 1936; Warncke 1977; Kuhlmann et al. 2014; Bogusch 2023). The species may be spreading northwards, with the first record from Germany made only in 2019 ( Saure and Petrischak 2020). Separately, it is not impossible that Popov’s record from Central Asia actually corresponds to one of the three species he described (males are known only for D. distinguendus ), as examination of a small number of male Dioxys specimens from Central Asia show a very similar genital morphology to D. cinctus . Further study of Central Asian species is required.
