Wiedemannia czernyi (Bezzi, 1905)

Material examined.

• 2♂, 6♀; Zicavo, Ponte di Valpine , at waterfall in riverbed; 25.vi.2019; SW (1) • 2♂, 9♀; Zicavo, Ponte di Valpine , on dry rocks and on seepages on rocks in riverbed; 29.vi.2019; HC (4) .

Remarks.

This species was previously reported by Wagner (1995) and Pusch (1996). This species was reported in Becker et al. (1910) as Röederia longipennis Mik, 1880, which was subsequently synonymized with Wiedemannia zetterstedti ( Fallén, 1826). However, this is likely a misidentification since the latter species does not occur in this part of Europe and there are substantial taxonomic misidentifications in the Wiedemannia zetterstedti “group”. A taxonomic revision of this group of sibling species is ongoing and hopefully the taxonomic status of all species in this complex will be resolved in the near future.
