Pliginsky) (ZIN); Griechenland, Athen, 5.1937, 7♂, 3♀ (leg. W. Schröder) ( MfN) ; Athen, 4♂, 4♀ ( NMW); Hellas, Mt. Parnassos , Stavros, 1200 m , 20.7.2000, 6 km NW above Arachaova, entrance of Livadia Plateau, road Verge, stones and sparse vegetation, 1♂, 1♀ (leg. F. Willemse) (det. F. Willemse as Glyphanus obtusus ) (AİBÜEM); ibidem, 1♂, 1♀ (NHMUK); Parnas , 1100–1200 m, 13.6.1958, 2♂, 3♀ (leg. Matveyev); Parnas , 550–800 m, 13.6.1958, 4♂, 2♀ (leg. Matveyev) (ZIN).

Remarks. The specimens of Parnassos population have the inner side of hind tibia and femur yellow, the pronotum with narrower hind margin, the tegmina broader than the typical forms. These characters are almost stable in Parnassos, but the other populations occurring in the lowlands should be checked using the new material when collected. This species is found in a restricted area in Greece ( Willemse 1984).
