Distribution

This species has a very restricted range west of Lake Shkodër at the foot of the Rumija Mountains in Montenegro ( Reischütz & Reischütz 2009; Subai 2009). Apart from the type locality there is another literature record, namely “Ðuravci, 10 km to Ostros” ( Subai 2009). None of the published distribution records were georeferenced; thus, it is difficult to say how far these locations are from one another. The site where we found this species is likely identical to, or very close to, the type locality and its bedrock type is Upper–Middle Jurassic limestone. At all three sites, this species was reported to co-occur with V. stojaspali ( Fig. 2 View Fig ).
