Remarks.

The specimens from Portugal clustered within BOLD: AER 7878, which includes specimens of Atractides marizae Pešić, 2023 , a species recently described by Pešić et al. (2023 b) from Santarém, Portugal. Until now, this rhitrobiontic species was known only from the type locality (Caniceira stream), and the new findings presented in this study demonstrate that A. marizae is more widely distributed in Portugal.
