Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime: AB, FRA, FAG, PRATO, AND-I numerous to very numerous, PAL sparse.

General distribution: Northern, southern Italy; Italian, Swiss, Austrian Alps; semicosmopolitan.

Habitat preferences: euryoecious.

Remark: The taxonomic rank of the parthenogenetic Tectocepheus species is debatable. Weigmann (2006), Subías (2004) and other authors list T. sarekensis as subspecies of T. velatus (Michael, 1880) ; Laumann et al. (2007) indicate a speciation by using molecular phylogeny and consider T. sarekensis a distinct species, which we follow here.
