On Stenichnus hummleri , S. basimpressus , and S. creticus

Stenichnus hummleri is endemic to the westernmost part of Crete. It has been sifted from chestnut and maple litter in localities to the west of the Lefka Ori at altitudes of 200–600 m.

Stenichnus basimpressus is endemic to West Crete eastwards to Psiloritis. Recently collected material was found at altitudes of 300–1400 m. Specimens from Lefka Ori differ from other populations by longer antennae.

The known distribution of S. creticus includes most of Crete and South Turkey. In Crete it was found especially by turning stones, but also by sifting, at a wide range of altitudes from near sea-level to 1200 m.
