Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species described from the centre and south of the Italian Peninsula, including Sicily Island ( Silvestri 1912), and other Italian localities by Wygodzinsky (1941b) and Ramellini (1990). Fresh material is needed to verify the record of D. malpighii in Serbia ( Blesić 1984, 2000b).
