Material examined. Croatia: 1♀, Kroatien, Br. carniolensis monticolus det. Verhoeff (HNHM). Montenegro: 1♂, Sljeme (Durmitor), ex. coll. Strasser (966/4) (NHMG).
Distribution. Albania (Attems 1929); Bosnia and Hercegovina (Attems 1929); Croatia (Strasser 1965); Montenegro (Makarov et al. 2004); Slovenia: (Strasser 1966a).
Diagnosis. Differs from the other members of the species group by the long, slender posterior process (pp) reaching above the solenomere ( Figs 7a–b, 7d View FIGURES 7 a – g ), together with the strongly tapering promere ( Fig. 7c View FIGURES 7 a – g ).
Opisthomere ( Figs 7a–b, 7d View FIGURES 7 a – g ): posterior solenomere process (psp) thin, bent and wavy, mostly longer but on the whole not exceeding in height the anterior process (asp). Most individuals with a very small posterior apical hump (ph).
Both sexes are dark brown or grey, with a very thin median black line; metazona are usually brighter. Body length and height: males: 28.7–41mm (43–44mm according to Verhoeff 1897), 2.1–2.6mm; females: 36.2– 36.9mm, 3.1mm.
Remarks. Except for the Julian Alps, this species lives only in the Balkan Peninsula. The apex of promere has two forms, the two variants were treated under different species names: M. monticola and M. carniolense . Their synonymy has been discussed for a long time, and was recently confirmed by Lazányi et al. (2012).
