Notes. For confirmed records see “ Epicrius mollis ” in the main synopsis of species. The only revised specimen from Slovakia (Veľká Fatra Mts., Ľubochňa Village, Skalná Alpa Mt.) labelled E. mollis , published by Kalúz & Žuffová (1989), belongs to the species E. resinae , the most common and most widely distributed epicriid in Slovakia. In Slovakia, E. mollis is very rare and most likely distributed only in the north-westernmost region. Undoubtedly, all the published data mentioned above on E. mollis are misidentifications.
