Taxonomic notes

The studied material (Supplementary file 2) allowed to illustrate the nota ( Fig. 51 ).

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species spreading around Central Europe: France ( Husson 1946; Pagés 1951), central Germany ( Paclt 1961a), Swiss Alps ( Orelli 1956), and reaching the Romanian Carpathians ( Ionescu 1951, 1955; Sendra et al. 2012) and Serbia ( Blesić 2000b). Surprisingly, it has not been found yet in the Czech Republic or Slovakia. Outside Central Europe, it has been quoted in the Pontic Mountains, northern Anatolian Peninsula ( Sendra et al. 2010).
