M eybohm] , Chania , S Vrises , 35°21'41"N , 24°11'44"E , 130 m , calcareous olive grove, 8.IV.2012 , leg. Germann ( NHMB ) . Unlike the other Leptomastax species recorded from Crete, L. bipunctata is not endemic, its distribution including Turkey and the Balkans from the Pelopónnisos northwards to Croatia . It appears likely that the species was introduced to Crete recently, as is suggested by the local occurrence in Crete and by the observation that other non-endemic Scydmaeninae known from Crete are widespread in the island (MEYBOHM pers. comm.).
