This species is endemic to the Madeiran islands where it is mainly found as a Quaternay fossil at the east end of Madeira (Seddon 2008). Wollaston (1878) has a single record of the species from 1860, where it was found by Reverend Lowe in the Ribeira do Fayal at the foot of perpendicular crags along the new levada called the levada da Fajaa dos Vinhaticos. Since 1980, there have been numerous unsuccessful attempts to locate this site by various collectors such as Waldén, Seddon, Killeen, Colville, Coles, Cameron and Cook (Seddon and Cameron pers. comm. 2008).

This species has not been collected since 1864 and may be extinct.
