REMARKS

This species is widely distributed in Europe ( Hodgetts 2015). In the Balkans, it is also widespread though it has not been frequently reported, being only not previously recorded in Kosovo and Northern Macedonia ( Sabovljević et al. 2008; Pantović & Sabovljević 2017). In the rest of the Mediterranean area it is only absent in Andorra, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Malta ( Ros et al. 2013; Hodgetts 2015).
