Julus terrestris scanicus Lohmander, 1925 View in CoL .

Distribution

AT, CZ, DE, DK-DEN, HU, LV, SE, SK. Discontinuous in Central Europe.

Habitat

Deciduous woodland, mostly damp, even very damp biotopes like Alnus swamps, also (wet?) heathland. Regarded as a eurytopic hygrobiont woodland species with preference for floodplains and swamp forests in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany (Voigtländer 2011).

Remarks

The known distribution is very patchy. There is a group of populations in the Danube basin in Austria, Hungary, SW Slovakia and SE Czech Republic, another in E Germany (Brandenburg), a patch near Oldesloe in Schleswig-Holstein, more on the Danish islands of Sjaelland and Bornholm, in SW Sweden, and finally an isolated record from Skangalia in Latvia.
