World distribution. This subspecies can be found only in Bulgaria and Greece, while the nominotypical subspecies lives in Ukraine ( Golovatch 1990) and Russia with the river Dnieper as a supposed western borderline ( Prisnyi 2001).

Remarks. It occurs from sea level to ca. 300m a.s.l. First Megaphyllum (and millipede) record on Samothraki Island, fitting well with the “Thracian” distribution.
