Stratiomys chamaeleon ( Linnaeus, 1758)

Published records. Sardinia ( Rozkošný 1982; Mason & Krivosheina 1995; Mason 2005; Rozkošný 2004). Oristano prov.: Oristano ( Troiano & Toscano 1997); Simaxis ( Costa 1883).

Remarks. The generic record published by Rozkošný (1982) is based on a list of Sardinian Stratiomyidae kindly provided by C. Contini; the only recent Sardinian record is that published by Troiano and Toscano (1997).

Distribution. This species inhabits most of Eurasia, although it is apparently absent from Ireland, Norway and Finland ( Rozkošný 1982, 2004).
