Material examined. Figure 1. Romania: Vanvucești, Vârtop Mt., Vârciorog waterfall, mixed forest, 1000 m

a.s.l., 46.4714° N, 022.7376° E, 25 September 2014, Kol- csár L.-P. leg., 1 male, DIPT-JS-2016-0268.

Matile (1986) revised this large and conspicuous spe- cies. The nominate subspecies was listed by Matile from France and Iran, and has subsequently been reported from Central and southern Europe, including Hungary, Greece, and Azerbaijan ( Zaitzev 1994, Chandler 2013). Matile (1986) ranked K. pentophthalmus Giglio-Tos, 1890 as a subspecies of K. reaumurii and listed this taxon from Romania. The specimen studied by J. Salmela has a very narrow ventromedial appendage on gonocoxite, thus fitting the description of the nominate subspecies ( Matile 1986, fig. 11).
