REMARKS

This species has a wide distribution in western, central and southern Europe ( Smith 2004; Hodgetts 2015). It was known from all SE European countries except Northern Macedonia and the European part of Turkey ( Sabovljević et al. 2008; Ros et al. 2013; Hodgetts 2015). However, according to our opinion this is an often overlooked species in the Balkans. According to Ros et al. (2013), in the rest of Mediterranean Region, it is only absent in Andorra and Syria. It is red-listed in Bulgaria as VU ( Natcheva et al. 2006) and in Romania as EN ( Ştefănuţ & Goia 2012).
