First faunistic record for Croatia: this study

Distribution in Croatia: There is a single confirmed old record of this species from the northernmost part of the country (Varaždin, Košćec Collection). The species is probably extinct in Croatia ( Hochkirch et al. 2016) and detailed research is necessary to confirm its potential presence in the country. Thorough morphological and bioacoustic comparison with other species from C. dorsatus aggregate— C. dorsatus and C. dichrous , is neccessary to assess true taxonomic state.

Distribution in Europe: Balkan Peninsula from Slovenia and Croatia (where it is probably extinct) (northern distrubution border) to Northern Greece (southern border) and Southern European Russia (eastern border) ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).
