Lisi et al. (2014) Record numbers: Bolivia : 4, Colombia : 1; total: 5. Remarks: Species belong to the nobilei group in which few new species were described from Europe in recent years (Pilato & Bertolani 2005, Pilato et al. 2005). This species has a mainly European distribution with single reports from New Zealand , North and South America ( McInnes 1994a ). Non-European records should be carefully re-examined, using integrative (molecular and morphology) taxonomy, as these could represent a complex of cryptic species.
