Taxonomic notes

Nota ( Fig. 37 ), urotergites ( Fig. 38 ), male and female first urosternites ( Figs 40-41 ), and cerci ( Fig. 39 ) were drawn from the studied material (Supplementary file 2).

Habitat and distribution

Soil-dwelling species also found in mines and MSS habitats ( Bareth 2000a, 2007a; Sendra et al. 2013). It has beeen found across England ( Bagnall 1915, 1918b), on the southern border of the Scandinavian Peninsula ( Agrell 1944; Olsen 1996), eastern France ( Denis 1924; Condé 1947h; Condé & Mathieu 1957; Condé & Bareth 1998), Belgium ( Bareth 2000a, 2007a), Germany ( Christian 2003), Switzerland ( Wygodzinsky 1941a) and Austria ( Christian 1992). Its presence in Lazio, Italy ( Ramellini 1990) should be reviewed.
