Notes

In Italy, R. sticticum was formerly reported only from Sicilia and Sardegna ( Kasparek 2019, Comba 2019); our records extend its range to continental Italy (Fig. 1 A). It is common in the extreme west of Liguria, where it occurs in warm dry places from the French border east at least to Bordighera.
