C o m m e n t: This widespread wing-dimorphic species is, by far, the most common representative of the genus in the East Mediterranean. It has been found on all studied islands except for Cyprus (Tab. 2).
The populations of Karpathos are characterized by rather dark average coloration. While the brachypterous morph was predominant in the samples from pine litter and phrygana litter at intermediate elevations, those from phrygana litter at higher altitdes on Kali Limni were almost exclusively composed of macropterous specimens. Larvae, mostly of the first and second instar, were observed in numerous samples. Eleven specimens were infested with Laboulbeniales.
