Treatment

Material examined.

Portugal, Beja, Corgo da Ponte Quebrada stream, 37.6886°N, 8.7043°W, 23.v.2022, leg. Jovanović, 2♀ (sequenced; see Table 1 View Table 1 ) GoogleMaps ; Corgo da Ponte Quebrada stream, 37.6961°N, 8.7122°W, 23.v.2022, leg. Jovanović 1♀ GoogleMaps .

Remarks.

Populations of this species have often been confused with those of Atractides distans (K. Viets, 1914); see Gerecke (2003) for a discussion. Clear morphological differences, for example the presence of a lineated integument in A. allgaier , instead of striated one in A. distans , are confirmed with a large (>14%) p -distance between these species.

Distribution.

Central, Western, and Southern Europe.
