Material examined. Figure 1. Romania: Vulcan Mt.,

Vulcan Pass, spruce forest along a stream with old fallen trees, 1420 m a.s.l., 45.3067° N, 023.3064° E, 26 May 2014, Kolcsár L.-P. leg., 1 male, DIPT-JS-2014-0452; Remeți, Bihor Mt., Iad River, 870 m a.s.l., mixed for- est, 46.7195° N, 022.5640° E, 22 May 2014, Kolcsár L.-P. leg., 1 male, DIPT-JS-2016-0201. Carnic, Retezat Mt., Pietrele Valley, mixed forest, dominated by spruce, 978 m a.s.l., 45.4405° N, 022.8913° E, 25 May 2014, Kolcsár L.-P. leg., 1 male; Vanvucești, Vârtop Mt., Vâr- ciorog waterfall, mixed forest, 1000 m a.s.l., 46.4714° N, 022.7376° E, 25 September 2014, Kolcsár L.-P. leg., 1 male, DIPT-JS-2016-0260.

This species was described from Germany ( Caspers 1984) and was later found in the British Isles (Chan- dler 1988), Bulgaria, Central Europe ( Chandler 2013), Sweden, Norway, and Denmark ( Kjaerandsen 2012). However, a recently described species, M. gemerensis Ševčík & Kurina 2011 , is close to M. lastovkai , and thus older records of the latter species should be verified due to possible confusion of these 2 taxa ( Salmela and Kaunisto 2015). Immature stages of M. lastovkai are unknown.
