(5) Haploschendyla europaea (Attems, 1903) : Zapparoli, 2002: 89, Fig. 41.

General distribution. Europe: Greece, Madeira. North Africa: Algeria ( Zapparoli 2002; Minelli et al. 2006; Bonato & Minelli 2014).

Chorotype. Mediterranean (MED).

Records in Peloponnisos ( Fig. 12 ). Ahaia: Patra (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

New records from Mt. Parnonas ( Fig. 12 ). 1 ex., Arkadia, Moustos wetland 1.5 km E (loc. 2), 2 m, N37.385198 / E22.765877, 25 Oct. 2014. ( Fig. 12 ).

Ecological notes. 0–5 m; no habitat data available.

Remarks. The occurrence of the species H. barbarica ( Verhoeff, 1901) in Peloponnisos is uncertain. We concur that the record may refer to H. grantii . In general, the taxonomy of the genus Haploschendyla (known from Algeria, Croatia, Greece, Tunisia and Sicily [ Zapparoli 2002; Minelli et al. 2006]) needs to be revised in the future.
