Distribution.40. Notes. Deltomerus sterbaiis a local endemic species confined only to the Pelister Mt. The data for its presence in Bulgaria( Guéorguiev & Guéorguiev 1995: 118; Guéorguiev et al.1997: 15; Zamotailov 2003: 283) refer to Patrobus atrorufus( Guéorguiev & Muilwijk 2001). It seems that some specimens of this species have incorrectly been designated as syntypesor paratypesin DEI, HNHM, and MNHUB. But, they do not come from the typeseries since D. sterbaiwas described after two males only. Recently, Viñolas & Masó (2014: 50)indicated that the holotypeis kept in DEI, and the paratypeis preserved in the Natural History Museum of Barcelona. However, one of us (BG) has visited DEI and found eight specimens of D. sterbaithere, three of them designated as syntypes(see also Döbler, 1975: 142). Therefore, the exact place of preservation of the typematerial of D. sterbairemains an open question.
