Graniger femoralis (COQUEREL 1858)

G r e e c e: Makedonía: Halkidiki: Kassandra, Paliouri, VII 1982, M. Geisthard leg. (1♀, cHIL).

A rare species, distributed from the Canaries, Iberian Peninsula, N-Africa to Italy, Albania, and Ukraine (CATPAL 1: WRASE 2003: 365; VIGNA TAGLIANTI 2004; GUÉORGUIEV 2007: 96), the wide gaps between the recorded areas are surely due to its rarity. First record for Greece.
