In the eastern Mediterranean, H. pisidicus is the most common representative of the genus. In Italy, it was previously known only from Puglia ( ASSING & WUNDERLE 1995) and is here reported from Lazio, Basilicata, and Sardinia for the first time. The specimens from Corsica represent the first record from the island, as well as from France as a whole. There is little doubt that the record of H. ibericus from Corsica by DAUPHIN (2002) is erroneous and that it, too, refers to H. pisidicus , as can be inferred from the drawing of the male sternite VIII. Also, the species is here recorded from Croatia for the first time.
