Leptoiulus sarajevensis Verhoeff, 1898

Verhoeff (1898b): 130–131, figs 9 & 10

Material examined ( IBER): many specimens, NW Bulgaria, Western Stara planina Mts, Chuprene Reserve , N 43.262218, E 22.381723, ca. 1400 m, spruce forest, in decaying wood and in leaf litter, 25.VI.2016, leg. BV, P. Mitov & Y. Keremidchiev, det. BV.

Remarks. This species was reported twice for Bulgaria, both records referring to Vitosha Montain ( Vagalinski & Stoev 2007). The abundant material presented here suggests this species may be common in the mid-high zones of the relatively underexplored mountains of western Bulgaria . L. sarajevensis is also known from Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Republic of Kosovo and Serbia ( Makarov et al. 2004).
