Taxon discussion

Strongylognathus dalmaticus was described by Baroni Urbani (1969) from Biševo Island (the Dalmatian Archipelago, Croatia) and later was also recorded from Greece ( Collingwood 1993, Legakis 2011, Borowiec and Salata 2012, Borowiec and Salata 2013, Borowiec and Salata 2017), Crete ( Borowiec and Salata 2013, Salata et al. 2020) and Bosnia and Herzegovina ( Vesnic 2013). Till recently, it has been considered as a good species, but Borowiec and Salata (2013) and Salata et al. (2020) proposed to consider S. dalmaticus as a subspecies of S. huberi Forel, 1874.

It is no coincidence that this species is found in the Eastern Rhodopes, where the influence of the warmer Mediterranean climate is stronger and xerothermic plant communities are present. The collecting site near the village of Meden Buk is located in the valley of the Byala Reka River near the Greek border and it is one of the southernmost points of Bulgaria.
