Distribution. To date, this species was known from the Balkan Peninsula only from its terra typica in Island of Hvar ( Croatia) ( Putshkov & Putshkov 1996) and from foothills of the Western Rhodopes Mts. near Asenovgrad in Bulgaria ( Simov & Josifov 2004). Our findings significantly extend the range of the species. Finding this species in the central Cyclades suggests that it is almost certainly more widely distributed in this country, but has been overlooked due to its cryptic habits. Our specimens represent the first records from Greece, Macedonia and the Black Sea Coast of Bulgaria.
