Remarks and ecology
This species is present in western Europe. It has been occasionally recorded in northern Spain and several Mediterranean coastal and inland provinces. This species had already been recorded in Asturias ( Schmölzer 1955, 1971; Cruz 1990; Vázquez-Felechosa & Anadón, 2001) ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ). Here we provided two new localities, one representing one of the highest records of this species in the Iberian Peninsula (ca. 1800 m). Although it is said that this species tends to occur in humid and flooded areas like marshes, river areas or meadows ( Cruz 1993; Vandel 1962) or even anthropic areas like gardens ( Vandel 1962), specimens from Gamoniteiru were found in alpine meadows without shrub or tree vegetation under large stones strongly attached to the substrate and far from water sources.
