79. Paramogoplistes novaki ( Krauss, 1888) = Novakov ljuskavi šturak

First faunistic record for Croatia: Krauss 1888

Distribution in Croatia: Until recently known only from Hvar Isl., recorded along the Krčić River ( Rebrina & Brigić 2017), Neretva River mouth (Vujčić–Karlo 12.X.1997) and on Mljet Isl. near temporary pond (Skejo & Zec 23.IX.2013). Probably has much broader distribution both on Adriatic islands and the mainland, but likely overlooked or misidentified as M. brunneus in the past.

Distribution in Europe: Outside Croatia, historical records exist for Mount Parnassus ( Greece), Sardinia and Circeo in Lazio region ( Italy), generally considered doubtful due to possible misidentifications ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).

IUCN Red List status: Data Deficient (Europe and EU28) ( Hochkirch et al. 2016).
