Determination: MARUSIK et al. 2015, WIEHLE 1953, ROBERTS 1998, (sub Lathys puta ).

Global distribution: Europe, Turkey.

Habitat: In sunny localities, on the ground and on lichens.

Note: This xerothermophilic species was to be expected for Serbia even if not yet known from the neighbouring countries to the west and east ( NENTWIG et al. 2020). The habitat of our finding (sandy meadow M1) fits well to the ecological requirements of the species as known from the literature. It is listed as vulnerable ( England, Czech Republic) in the Red List of species.
