REMARKS

Originally described from the Sierra de Guadarrama (Steiner 1955), according to Deharveng (1987), its distribution extends from the south of the Ebro River (Iberian Peninsula) to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Throughout Europe (de Jong et al. 2014), it is present from Bulgaria, North Africa, Portugal (mainland), Spain (mainland) and Ukraine. The citations of Cassagnau (1959) and Selga (1966a, 1971) probably refer to the nearby species T. similis Deharveng, 1987 .
