Pelecopsis inedita (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1875)

Distribution

In general, its range, as the previous species, corresponds to the western countries of the Mediterranean Basin. In the Iberian Peninsula, it is frequent and abundant, being known from numerous localities. It has also been reported for the District of Beja. In the Castro Verde area, the species appears to be more tolerant to the epiphytic habitat conditions than P. bucephala , having been collected in far greater numbers than the latter species. Like other Pelecopsis Simon, 1864, it forms abundant populations in the soil mulch (mosses, leaf litter and other plant detritus).
