THE APLOCNEMUS SPECIES OF GREECE

Checklist

For all the above listed taxa, reliable evidence of their presence in Greece has been found. But at least three further species, present in the northern part of the Balkans, might be found in this Country:

Aplocnemus (A.) chalconatus (Germar, 1817): similar to rufipes for general appearance and colour, known of Slovenia, Croatia (Istria, Dalmatia) and Montenegro (Majer, 1982; Liberti, 1995).

Aplocnemus (A.) pulverulentus (Kuster, 1849): belonging to the reitteri group, known of Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro ( Liberti, 1995).

Aplocnemus (A.) serbicus Kiesenwetter, 1863: similar to rufipes but darker, known of Serbia, se- veral central European localities and the Russian southern Territories. A likely synonym of Aplocnemus (A.) virens Suffrian, 1843 from western Euro- pe, its systematic position will be discussed in a future paper.

Their descriptions and drawings can be found in Majer (1982) and in Liberti (1995).
