status

 

Eukiefferiella bedmari Vilchez-Quero & Laville, 1987 View in CoL

Material examined.

3 pupal exuvia, Latoricja River (S 4), 5 May 2018 .

Distribution.

Palaearctic. France, Spain, Greece, Corsica, Turkey, Lebanon, Algeria, and Morocco ( Ashe and O’Connor 2012).

Habitat.

Streams and rivers ( Laville and Langton 2002; Chaib et al. 2013; Moubayed-Breil and Ashe 2016).

Remarks.

E. bedmari is a circum-mediterranean faunistic element ( Laville and Reiss 1992; Moubayed-Breil 2008). Our unexpected extra-Mediterranean finding suggests the relict character of its population in the Carpathians (see comments to Cricotopus beckeri ).
