First faunistic record for Croatia: Ingrisch 1981

Distribution in Croatia: Very rare, known from two localities in Istria—Poreč: Plava laguna ( Ingrisch 1981), and Valbandon, 6 km north of Pula (Kleukers new data, pers. comm.). In the past, a few authors cited this species for Croatia (Istria—Ebner 1951, Us 1967, Kaltenbach 1970), but without precise localities.

Distribution in Europe: From Northeastern Italy and Eastern Austria through Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Ukraine to Southern European Russia ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).

IUCN Red List status: Near Threatened (Europe), Endangered (EU28) ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).

Taxonomic and distribution note: E. coerulipes has been synonymized with E. pulverulentus (Fischer von Waldheim, 1846) by Mistshenko (1968), but it is unclear which name should be used, since the synonymy is not widely accepted ( Cigliano et al. 2018). Taxonomic revision of these two species is required. Furthermore, E. coerulipes is usually divided into two subspecies in Europe—nominal subspecies and E. c. panonnicus (Karny, 1907). However, differences between them are unclear, thus we do not follow this division.
