Pantelozetes alpestris (Willmann, 1929) View in CoL
Distribution in Georgia. W: Navenakhevi, Letsurtsume, Satsurblia and Chakhati caves (Murvanidze 2014)
Global distribution. Holarctic
Ecology. Moss, cave soil and guano
Remark. According to Subías (2004, electronically updated in 2015), this species belongs to the genus Montizetes Kunst, 1971 . Weigmann (2006) discussed the diagnostic characters of Pantelozetes Grandjean, 1953 and gave strong argumentation to regard Montizetes as a junior synonym of Pantelozetes . Weigmann (2006) registered P. alpestris as a moss dwelling species in European mountain regions; we have found it abundant in twilight and dark zones of several karst caves of Georgia, on the cave floor and in bat guano.
