Discussion. The record from Slovakia by Zilahi-Sebess (1940) actually refers to D. thienemann i Spătaru & Damian-Georgescu (1970). Other records of this species determined from females from Poland ( Mayer 1934b), Great Britain ( Edwards 1926, 1929), Iceland ( Goetghebuer & Lindroth 1931) and Germany ( Havelka 1976a) are doubtful and ignored.
