Notes: Pselaphochernes scorpioides is distributed widely in Europe, including the Balkan countries ( Harvey 2013b). In general, P. scorpioides prefers rich decaying organic material; it occurs in cow-dung, compost heaps or straw debris, especially in synanthropic habitats (e.g., Beier 1963; Legg and Jones 1998; Krajčovičová and Christophoryová 2014). This agrees with previous reports ( Christophoryová and Jablonski 2017), as well as with the present records from Albania. It is less commonly found in leaf litter, tree hollows, under tree bark, in decaying wood and in bird’s or ant’s nests (e.g., Drogla and Lippold 2004; Petrov 2004; Turienzo et al. 2010; Krajčovičová and Christophoryová 2014). The present findings extend species occurrence in Albania by one new locality.
