Claustropyga aperta Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, 2003

( Figs 9‒12 )

New records. SLOVAKIA: Belianske Tatry, Tatranská Javorina, Široká dolina valley, 1100 m, 2.viii.1992, 2 JJ, M. Kozánek leg.

Distribution. Only the type specimens (5 JJ) from the Austrian Alps (3200–3400 m) have been known from Europe. However, VILKAMAA & HIPPA (2007) recorded three males from Canada (British Columbia, Vancouver Island), which they identified, with some doubts, as Claustropyga aperta . The first author of this contribution studied one of the Canadian specimens, compared it with the Slovakian ones, and considers both species separate (see Figs 9–12 ). This is the first record of this rare species from Slovakia.
