Notes

Proceratium melinum is rarely collected due to its subterranean lifestyle and small colonies, although it is widespread in the Palaearctic. It is known in Bulgaria in a small number of localities (Dobrudzha, Thracian Lowland (Svilengrad), Struma Valley (Petrich, Sandanski) and Burgas) ( Forel 1892, Atanassov and Dlussky 1992, Lapeva-Gjonova et al. 2010).
