Remarks. Geodromicus suturalis Lacordaire, 1835 was originally described from “Paris”. For a long time it was considered as a synonym of G. plagiatus (e.g. Erichson 1840, Kraatz 1857, Mulsant & Rey 1880) or as a variety of it (e.g. Fauvel 1871 [= 1872]). Habitus as in Fig. 11 ; aedeagus as in Figs. 33–35 . It is here recorded from Slovenia for the first time.
