Material examined. Spain: Marbella, T.Palm 1–21. VII.1962, 24 exx. (MZLU), 13 exx. (cB). Italy: Sardinia, S. Teresa (Gallura), T.Palm VI.1968, 2 exx. (MZLU), 1 ex. (cB). Greece: Rhodes, T.Palm 24.VI–4. VII.1958, 2 exx. (MZLU), 2 exx. (cB).

Distribution. Phacophallus parumpunctatus is very widespread: it has been recorded from Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, West Indies and Australia (Herman, 2001). Apparently this wide distribution is a result of introduction by humans. Some records my be based on misidentified specimens.
