Remarks

Previously known only from Typhloiulus Latzel, 1884 and Trogloiulus Manfredi, 1931 from Italy (Santamaría et al. 2014). The new records extend both the host range and the geographical distribution of this species. Among the new hosts, Cylindroiulus truncorum, Amblyiulus kovali and Serboiulus kresnik belong to the family Julidae, like previously known hosts, whereas Proteroiulus hispanus belongs to the related family Blaniulidae . Cylindroiulus truncorum is a widespread, largely synanthropic species with a preference for high humidity; Amblyiulus kovali and Serboiulus kresnik are cavernicolous (Haacker 1968; Kime & Enghoff 2017). Infected specimens of Proteroiulus hispanus were collected at high altitude in Sierra Nevada, mainly in the Mesovoid Shallow Stratum, MSS (Gilgado et al. 2015).
