Notes

Questionable status. Species complex. Chaetozone setosa is a complex of pseudo-cryptic species, with at least five species in northern Europe alone ( Chambers and Woodham 2003). Several authors (e.g. Simboura 1996, Çınar and Ergen 2007, Mikac 2015) doubt the validity of Mediterranean records, as the species has likely been confused with Chaetozone gibber Woodham & Chambers, 1994, Chaetozone corona Berkeley & Berkeley, 1941 or Chaetozone carpenteri McIntosh, 1911 and probably does not occur in the Mediterranean.
