Notes. During more than 100 years L. carlinae was mistakenly mixed with L. planus (see below) ( Gültekin 2006a). Thus, some records on L. planus ( Kryshtal 1949: Mazur & Kuśka 1994; Kubisz et al. 1998; Barsov et al. 1998; Mazur 2002; Nazarenko et al. 2003; Nazarenko 2013) apparently refer to L. carlinae .
