Remarks. In the general collection there are other specimens collected by Mavromoustakis at the type locality (near Limassol and along the Yermasoyia river in 1953 and 1957) which we exclude from the type series, because the identification label handritten by Linsenmaier was placed in 1966 and there are no evidences that he examined other specimens than that cited in the original description.
