Megaphyllum brachyurus thassensis Mauriès, 1985 .

Distribution

GR-GRC. – Also Asiatic Turkey, Iran, Russia, from the Caucasus north to Stavropol District, Georgia, Azerbaijan.

Habitat

Forests in the mountains of Eastern Turkey where it has been found on a few occasions between 1700 m and 2500 m above sea level; also in forests in southern parts of Russia east of the Black Sea where the nominal subspecies occurs at lower altitudes. In Greece ssp. thassensis was found in a cave.

Remarks

The nominal subspecies lives in the Caucasus ( Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan). On present evidence there is a very large gap between the populations in Eastern Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia and from the Caucasus as far north as Stavropol District, just south of the Fauna Europaea mapping area, on the one hand and the subspecies thassensis Mauriès, 1985, in Greece on the other.
