101. Troglophilus neglectus Krauss, 1879 = mramorni spiljski konjic ( Fig. 6E )

First faunistic record for Croatia: Krauss 1879

Distribution in Croatia: Recorded in the entire western part of Croatia: in Istria and Istrian Dinaric mountains (Ćićarija Mt. and Učka Mt.), on the islands (Cres and Krk), Gorski kotar (Risnjak Mt. and Kapela Mts.), as well as

in the karst of Lika and North Dalmatia. There are isolated populations north of Sava River on Ravna Gora Mt. and Ivanščica Mt., on Papuk Mt. in the Pannonian region ( Karaman et al. 2011). However, all older data on the southern border need redetermination because of the recent records of a sibling species, T. ovuliformis (probably parapatric).

Distribution in Europe: Two separated areas of distribution—one comprising Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, Eastern Serbia, Northeastern Albania and Northwestern Bulgaria, and the other comprising Croatia, Northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Northeastern Italy and Austria. Introduced to Czechia, Germany and Switzerland. Origin of the Maltese population uncertain (Chobanov et al. 2016).
