Material examined: Greece: Crete: 2♀♀ [det. M eybohm], Chania , S Vrises , 35°21'41"N, 24°11'44"E, 130 m, calcareous olive grove, 8.IV.2012, leg. Germann ( NHMB) GoogleMaps .

Unlike the other Leptomastax species recorded from Crete, L. bipunctata is not endemic, its distribution including Turkey and the Balkans from the Pelopónnisos northwards to Croatia. It appears likely that the species was introduced to Crete recently, as is suggested by the local occurrence in Crete and by the observation that other non-endemic Scydmaeninae known from Crete are widespread in the island (MEYBOHM pers. comm.).
