Lepidodermella squamata (Dujardin, 1841) (Table 17)

Locality: Site 2, session II.

Materials: 2 specimens (both adult), both photographed.

Remarks: The specimens recorded in this study correspond well with the literature data (Kisielewski 1981; 1997a; Balsamo 1983) except for a, m and p pharynx formulae which are lower than the reference (14.9%; 13.3%; 18.0% vs 16–21%; 17–24%; 22–33%, respectively).

Distribution: A very common species which, in the light of molecular data, constitutes a set of morphologically very similar species or complex of criptic species (Kånneby et al. 2012). Widely distributed in Europe, inter alia reported in: Bulgaria (Valkanov 1937), Germany (Remane 1935–36), Great Britain (Martin 1981), Italy (e.g. Mola 1932), Poland (e.g. Roszczak 1939; Kisielewska & Kisielewski 1986a, b, c), Romania (Rudescu 1967), Switzerland (Greuter 1917), Sweden (Kånneby 2011), and also reported in Argentina (Grosso & Dragh 1984), Australia (Hochberg 2005), Brazil (Kisielewski 1991), Canada (Schwank 1990), East Africa (Daday 1910), India (e.g. Naidu & Rao 2004), Israel (Kisielewski 1999), Japan (Sudzuki 1971), Korea (Lee & Chang 2000), the United States (e.g. Bryce 1924), and Uruguay (Cordero 1918).
