Material examined ( IBER): 3 ♂♂, 3 ♀♀, 3 juv., SW Bulgaria, Yambol District, near Hadzhidimitrovo village , N 42.313133, E 26.241578, small vineyard, upper soil layer with grass remains and rootlets, 5.X.2016, leg. BV, det. PS & BV.

Remarks. The species was hitherto known from three records from Eastern Rhodopi Mountains ( Strasser 1966, 1973; Stoev 2004a), the present specimens are found some 90–130 km NNE of that area. The gonopods show some slight variations in comparison with the original drawings, particularly a deeper and more pointed bifurcation of the lateral coxal process.
