Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species known from a unique locality in the western Subbaetic Mountains, southern Iberian Peninsula (Silvestri 1932a), and inhabiting colluvial scree slopes in central Iberia. The quotations of this species in Romania (Ionescu 1951, 1955) and Italy (Ramellini 1990) should be carefully revised with new material.
