Remarks.
This is a widely distributed species across arid regions in northern and eastern Saudi Arabia and the Middle East ( Arnold 1986; Pola et al. 2024). In eastern Saudi Arabia, it was recorded from Al Jubail ( Martens 1996), several localities in Al Hassa ( Haas 1957; Al-Sadoon 2010), and Al Qatif ( Aloufi et al. 2023). This species prefers sand habitats and becomes active at night.
In the islands of the Arabian Gulf, this species was reported from Auhha Island, Kuwait ( Amr et al. 2021), Sir Bani Yas Island in the UAE ( Bourquin 2011), and 13 islands in the UAE ( Soorae 2004).
