Unpublished data. Domusnovas (Carbonia-Iglesias prov.), Sa Duchessa, 350 m, 10.I.1986, leg. L. Fancello & P. Leo, 1 ex ( CLF-PL) . Iglesias (Carbonia-Iglesias prov.), Mamenga, 430 m, 7.IV.2000, leg. L. Fancello, 1 ex ( CLF-PL) . Villacidro (Medio Campidano prov.), paese, 260 m, 1.I.1986, leg. P. Leo, 3 ex ( CLF-PL) .

Distribution. Sardinian endemic, known so far only from few localities in western Sardinia: Gonnesa, Fluminimaggiore, Asuni and Campeda ( Binaghi 1948). Its occurence in Corsica, still mentioned in some recent works ( Sánchez-Terròn 2004, with doubt; Vít 2004) should be refused (cf. Binaghi 1948).

Notes. Collected with the Berlese method in various habitats: Quercus ilex woodland, Mediterranean maquis and in an orchard garden at the base of a Ficus carica .
