Record numbers. Jordan: 1; total: 1

Remarks. Due to the limited original description ( Rahm 1936), Ramazzotti (1972) considered this a variant of spitzbergensis . However, recent analysis of M. spitzbergensis and related species ( Gąsiorek et al. 2016), indicates this is not spitzbergensis sensu stricto, but could be Mesocrista revelata Gąsiorek et al., 2016 . Further work is required to clarify this record.
