Habitat

The type locality is “Korab, Duboka Recka” which refers to a stream (Duboka Recka) on Mt Korab on the border between Albania and Macedonia. No ecological details.

Remarks

This species has the same locus typicus as L. sarajevensis to which it is similar. Makarov et al. (2004) claim that it is a Macedonian endemic. Mauriès et al. (1997) proposed the replacement name Leptoiulus jaroslavi to avoid secondary homonymy with Macedoiulus storkani Verhoeff, 1932 . Inasmuch as the latter species is regarded as a junior synonym of Leptoiulus sarajevensis Verhoeff, 1898 , the replacement is unnecessary.

Attems’ data cite presence in Epirus in Greece and Albania; however, many of these were collected in the first decade of the 20 th century and do not apply to present day national boundaries – several species quoted by Attems for Albania are often in other bordering countries, or even Bulgaria.
