Wadi El Natrun
The five widely scattered records of "P. zolii" which also occurred only in very small populations indicate that it is a very rare species. Individuals were found restricted to semi-desert areas with grassy vegetation on sandy soil or other steppe vegetation near oases. The best known subpopulation is located in Wadi El Natrun/Egypt at the margin of salt marshes. Here it can be found climbing in microhabitats created by the halfa grass "Desmostachya bipinnata" and also in stands of "Alhagi graecorum".
