Notes: Atemnus syriacus is a rare species with distribution within Europe restricted to the Balkans ( Harvey 2013b). The species is recorded in Albania for the first time. Albania is the second-known country with occurrence of the species and the northernmost country of its distribution in Europe. Atemnus syriacus is considered a typical bark-dwelling species, which was proved by the present records, a record from Greece ( Mahnert 1977), and from its distribution outside Europe: in Turkey and Syria ( Beier 1955 1964).
