According to SCHÜLKE & SMETANA (2015), B. tristis is represented in the Mediterranean region by six subspecies, B. tristis tristis (Sicily, North Africa), B. tristis atlanticus KOCH, 1938 ( France) , B. tristis albanicus HERMAN, 1986 ( Albania) , B. tristis brevicollis MULSANT & REY, 1861 ( France) , B. tristis minarzi BERNHAUER, 1929 (Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Corsica), and B. tristis normandi KOCH, 1938 ( Tunisia) . Again, this subspecific concept appears rather implausible in a zoogeographic context. The material listed above represents the first record of B. tristis from Greece.
