Note. We provide new data for this species in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto. T. fagei was previously known for a few epigean and hypogean localities in Veneto ( Roewer, 1931; Brignoli, 1971, 1975; Pesarini, 2001; Marcuzzi, 2003), Friuli Venezia Giulia ( Deeleman-Reinhold, 1978; Pesarini, 2001) and Trentino Alto Adige ( Thaler, 1967). Gasparo (1997 sub “ T. cfr. fagei ”) reports several hypogean doubtful records in Friuli Venezia Giulia that are probably referring to this species. T. fagei is also known for the Austrian Alps ( Thaler, 1967).
