Aporrectodea georgii (Michaelsen, 1890) View in CoL

St. 4, 02.01.1993, 1 ad., 1 pub., 1 fragment.

New record. Present all along the northern Mediterranean, with a preference for wet soils. In central Italy it is confined to some altitude and is absent in the southern regions except for two records (800–1300 m) from Sicily ( Martinucci & Omodeo 1988) and Sardinia (unpubl. datum, Table 1). In the Maghreb it is only known so far from cultivated land in Algeria ( Omodeo et al. 2003), where it has possibly been introduced with crops and has spread through irrigation channels.
