Distributional note
Kim (2012: 150), while reporting material under this name from Korea, considers that the taxonomic status of the Korean material requires further investigation. "This species was recorded with no comment from Greece by Giaccone (1968a: 225). We agree with Athanasiadis (1987: 87) in considering that record as a misidentification for a different taxon." (Cormaci & al. 2023: 521). - (18 March 2014) - M.D. Guiry
