Notes
The finding of the specimen in Molfetta, more than 170 km from the area of the first recording (see Ruzzier et al. (2020b)), would suggest the existence of a second population of this species, probably as a result of an independent introduction. The specimen collected in Minervino di Lecce may also be the result of an independent introduction or be confirmation that the species is expanding in southern Apulia. The fact that the specimens were observed in nature suggests the existence of at least two naturalised populations.
