Trechus (Epaphius) secalis ssp. secalis (PAYKULL 1790)

I c e l a n d: Austurland: Sveitarfélagið Hornafjörður: Höfn env., 24.-28.VIII.2008, Chr. Reuter leg. (1 spcm., cWR). - Suðurland: Skaftárhreppur: Kirkjubaejarklaustur, Skafatel, 24.-28.VIII.2008, Chr. Reuter leg. (1 spcm., cWR).

Widespread in the primarily northern part of the Palaearctic region, from France and Great Britain to E-Siberia but hitherto not recorded from Iceland (CATPAL 1: MORAVEC, UÉNO & BELOUSOV 2003: 325, VIGNA TAGLIANTI 2004). First record for Iceland, the species reaches here obviously the north-western limit of its range.
