Proteinus creticus ASSING, 2004 View in CoL

This species was originally described from Crete, where it was repeatedly recorded again, partly in large numbers ( ASSING 2004b, 2013a, 2015a). The species was subsequently reported from West Anatolia ( ANLAŞ & TEZCAN 2008), but this record appears highly doubtful and requires confirmation. For the time being, P. creticus is considered an endemic of Crete.
