79. Paramogoplistes novaki (Krauss, 1888) = Novakov ljuskavi šturak

First faunistic record for Croatia: Krauss 1888

Distribution in Croatia: Until recently known only from Hvar Isl., recorded along the Krčić River (Rebrina & Brigić 2017), Neretva River mouth (Vujčić–Karlo 12.X.1997) and on Mljet Isl. near temporary pond (Skejo & Zec 23.IX.2013). Probably has much broader distribution both on Adriatic islands and the mainland, but likely overlooked or misidentified as M. brunneus in the past.

Distribution in Europe: Outside Croatia, historical records exist for Mount Parnassus (Greece), Sardinia and Circeo in Lazio region (Italy), generally considered doubtful due to possible misidentifications (Hochkirch et al. 2016).

IUCN Red List status: Data Deficient (Europe and EU28) (Hochkirch et al. 2016).
