174. Cylindroiulus rufifrons (C.L. Koch, 1847)

Julus rufifrons C.L. Koch, 1847 .

Distribution

IT-ITA (Lombardia, Venezia, Calabria).

Habitat

No information apart from a cave at Scilla in Calabria (see below).

Remarks There are only old records from the 19th century concerning this species. Berlese (1882 –1903) listed

sites from Calabria, and Brölemann (1895) listed sites from Lombardy. Minelli (1985) stated that the above-mentioned cave record might be attributed to another species, and Strasser (1970) thought that the Calabrian records possibly referred to C. aetnensis and that the Venetian record probably referred to C. boleti . Strasser & Minelli (1984) regarded C. rufifrons as a doubtful species in need of revision.
