This species was described from Algeria (Athias-Henriot 1960). This species is mainly known from the south of the Western Palearctic region. It is a very common species reported from many plants, including crops such as peach, avocado orchards and vineyards. It is especially abundant in citrus orchards (Ragusa 1977; Ferragut et al. 1983; Papaioannou-Souliotis et al. 1994; Ragusa 2006; Kreiter et al. 2010; Sahraoui et al. 2012). Several studies have shown its ability to feed on pollen but also on pests such as T. urticae and P. citri or eriophyid mites (Ferragut et al. 1992; Santaballa et al. 1994; Abad-Moyano et al. 2009; Pina et al., 2012). This species was already recorded and mentioned in a Slovenian paper (Bohinc et al. 2018) but it is the first mention of that species in an international paper for Slovenia.
