Notes:

The locality Maslen nos (20 m asl) is the lowest one for the species in Bulgaria ( Atanassov and Dlusskij 1992). We did not examine correspondent material, but based on the current knowledge of the distribution and ecology of this species we may expect that this record is based on mislabeling or misidentification.
