European distribution: Albania (present paper), Italy ( Gardini et al. 2017).

Notes: Geogarypus italicus represents a new species for the Albanian pseudoscorpion fauna. Albania is only the second-known country of its distribution in Europe; it is the first country within the Balkans with occurrence of the species. Gardini et al. (2017) described the species in Italy and the adjacent islands. In both published and present records, the species was collected mainly from the soil and under tree bark ( Gardini et al. 2017).
