Granopupa granum ( Draparnaud, 1801) View in CoL

Type locality: France .

Notes.—This species has by far the widest distribution of all chondrinids. It has even been reported from Ascension island, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean (7.94W 14.36S) ( Ashmole & Ashmole 1997). The species is found in Portugal and Spain, in the Mediterranean zone and eastwards to Iran and Afghanistan ( Gittenberger 1973: 40) and the Arabian peninsula ( Neubert 1998: 365, fig. 51; 367, fig. 52). The record from northern Somalia ( Verdcourt 1963: 408–409; Gittenberger 1973: 40) is based on the description of Granopupa somalensis Verdcourt, 1963 . However, that species should be classified with Rupestrella . Hence the southernmost records for Granopupa are from Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
