Falck & Karsholt (2023: 293) melden den völlig überraschenden Erstfund der zuvor nur vom Iran (locus typicus) und vom Oman bekannten Art. Damit ergeben sich allerdings neue Fragen bezüglich der Artabgrenzung(en): "Type locality: IRAN, Balutschistan, Bender Tchahbabar. Material examined: SPAIN, Fuerteventura, 1 ♂, 7-27-XI-2017, leg. P. Falck, genitalia slide 2663PF, DNA sample Lepid Phyl 0062PF/CILEP62-19 (PF). New to the Canary Islands, Spain. DNA barcodes (Figure 87): We obtained a full-length DNA barcode (658 bp) from the specimen. The barcode falls within Barcode Index Number (BIN) BOLD: ADT3067. The minimum p-distance to nearest neighbour (T. iranica from the United Arab Emirates with Barcode Index number BOLD: ACK8187) is 3.85%." Die Anmerkung dazu: "Remarks: The occurrence of T. iranica in the Canary Islands far away from its hitherto known distribution around the Persian Gulf is surprising. The identity of the disjunct populations was confirmed by their similar genitalia. However, further studies may reveal cryptic diversity, because specimens from Canary Islands and the Arab United Emirates differ by 3.85% in the DNA barcodes. The species probably also occurs through northern parts of the Sahara. The male and female genitalia are figured by Gozmány (2000, pp. 133, 151)."
