Distribution

Pirin Mt. ( Golemansky 1974, new data); Rhodopes Mt. ( Golemansky et al. 2006); Rila Mt. ( Todorov and Golemansky 2000, Todorov 2004, Todorov 2005, new data); Stara Planina Mt. (new data); Vitosha Mt. ( Golemansky 1965, Golemansky and Todorov 1985, Golemansky and Todorov 1990, Todorov 1993, Todorov and Golemansky 1995, new data).

Notes

The species has been recorded both as nominal species and as synonym P. bigibbosa (Pirin Mt., Vitosha Mt.). Furthermore, in several publications on the testate amoebae from Vitosha Mt. ( Golemansky 1965, Golemansky and Todorov 1990, Todorov 1993, Todorov and Golemansky 1995), the infrasubspecific taxa Difflugia compressa var. africana Gauthier-Lièvre et Thomas, 1958 has erroneously been recorded, because the description of the found individuals fully corresponds to Z. compressa .
