Polydesmus jawlowskii Strasser, 1966

Strasser (1966): 336–337, figs 5–7.

Material examined (IBER): 2 ♂♂, SW Bulgaria, west of Gorna Breznitsa village, N 41.443700, E 23.065819, 500–550 m, Platanus forest, near a stream, 9.V.2014, leg. & det. BV.

Remarks. Strasser (1966) described P. jawlowskii on the basis of a single male collected from the surroundings of Rila Monastery. Later Strasser (1973) reported the species from the vicinity of Satovcha village, Western Rhodopi Mts . The present record from the foothills of Maleshevska planina Mt. is the second one from Bulgaria after the species’ original description. P. jawlowskii is also known from southeastern FYR Macedonia (Mršić 1993).

The gonopod structure of the two examined males differs slightly from Strasser’s original drawings: the tip of the tibiotarsus is less strongly bent and the endomerit appears somewhat shorter.
