Not long ago this species was known only from Samos ( Greece) and Bulgaria ( HAITLINGER 2006a, 2009). Now, A. polikarpi was stated for the first time in Cyprus and Kos. These specimens somewhat differ from specimens previously collected in Samos and Bulgaria and show a greater range variability of some measurements. Therefore, measurements of specimens from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Kos and Samos are given in Table 1.
