Bledius tristis AUBÉ, 1843

Material examined: Greece: Corfu: 9 exs. [det. Schülke & Feldmann), Prasoudia beach, 38°29'N, 19°52'E, 1.VII.2007, leg. Feldmann (cFel, MNB).

According to SCHÜLKE & SMETANA (2015), B. tristis is represented in the Mediterranean region by six subspecies, B. tristis tristis (Sicily, North Africa), B. tristis atlanticus KOCH, 1938 (France), B. tristis albanicus HERMAN, 1986 (Albania), B. tristis brevicollis MULSANT & REY, 1861 (France), B. tristis minarzi BERNHAUER, 1929 (Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Corsica), and B. tristis normandi KOCH, 1938 (Tunisia) . Again, this subspecific concept appears rather implausible in a zoogeographic context. The material listed above represents the first record of B. tristis from Greece.
