Strongylognathus kratochvili Silhavy, 1937

Strongylognathus bulgaricus Pisarski, 1966 (see Notes below).

Records

(Map 41): Central Predbalkan: Veliko Tarnovo ( Viehmeyer 1922), Preobrazhenski monastery (10 km by Veliko Tarnovo), Dryanovo ( Atanassov and Dlusskij 1992); Eastern Predbalkan: Veliki Preslav ( Atanassov and Dlusskij 1992).

Notes:

Viehmeyer (1922) described Strongylognathus huberi rehbinderi var. bulgarica from Bulgaria, but this name is unavailable (quadrinomen). Later Pisarski (1966) proposed the first available name for this form ( Strongylognathus rehbinderi bulgaricus ) and considered Strongylognathus kratochvili as its junior synonym. Nevertheless, based on the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999) the author of Strongylognathus bulgaricus is Pisarski (1966), thus the name Strongylognathus kratochvili has priority. Atanassov and Dlusskij (1992) recorded this species as Strongylognathus bulgaricus .

Conservation Status:

Vulnerable D2 (IUCN).
