Cap Corse [I] (1).  Remarks. European species recorded in Scandinavia as well as in central and south-eastern countries; in Central Europe it shows a clear preference towards wet and humid habitats with high vegetation cover (  Voigtlaender2005), in Greece it seems to prefer submontane and montane coniferous woods and open montane habitats ( Zapparoli 2002). Its presence in Corsica is doubtful (see Geoffroy and Iorio 2009). The species has been recorded (as Lithobius nigrifronsLatzel and Haase in Latzel, 1880) from two localities, Cap Corse and Bastia, in the Mesomediterranean belt (  Legerand Duboscq 1903: 309) where an unspecified number of unsexed specimens (11.5 mm long with 36 antennal articles) were found. The occurrence of this species in Corsica has never been confirmed. Although the species is included in a recent list of the centipede fauna of the island ( Foddai et al. 1996), the old literature records are unreliable and must be referred to a different unidentified species of Lithobius.
