     (from Boudot & al. 2009:167): Acisoma panarpoides ascalaphoides is a widespread Afrotropical species, which has a string of relict populations in Algeria, Libya and Egypt in coastal wetlands and Saharan oases. Libyan populations are probably extinct but the species is still present in Algeria. There is only one record from Egypt after 1990 but information on this country is scarce and A. p. ascalaphoides might be more common than records suggest.
