First faunistic record for Croatia: Brunner von Wattenwyl 1882

Also reported as: Platycleis nigrosignata Costa, 1863 (Brunner von Wattenwyl 1882)

Distribution in Croatia: Rare, in the eastern part of Dinaric Alps from Dinara Mt. ( Rebrina et al. 2015) to Dubrovnik area: Ombla ( Ramme 1951).

Distribution in Europe: Endemic to the Balkans—western part of the Balkan Peninsula from Croatia to the Peloponnesus ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).

Distributional note: In Croatia it was recorded under the names (1) T. nigrosignata by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1882), Redtenbacher (1900), Kuthy (1908), Ramme (1951), and (2) T. orina by Kuthy (1908), Ramme (1951), Skejo & Rebrina (2013) and Rebrina et al. (2015). Italian endemic T. nigrosignata is not present in the Balkans ( Massa & Fontana 2011), but replaced in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula by T. orina , while in the eastern by T. carinata (Berland & Chopard, 1922) .
