C o m m e n t: Ischnoglossa minor is found under bark and rather widespread in the Mediterranean region and in the Canary Islands. In the Mediterranean it is a rare species and has been recorded from Northwest Africa ( Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco), Spain, France, Greece, Cyprus, and Syria (material examined; SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). The above specimens include the first records from mainland Spain and from Greece. In the Canary Islands, I. minor appears to be less rare (see material examined).
