Maassen leg.; NMBE 539837 . Dimensions H 1.6–1.9 mm ; W 3.0– 3.5 mm . Distribution This is the most frequent species of the genus. Its range is northwest of Lake Skadar in Montenegro . The following locations are mentioned in the literature: Velika Jama near Dupilo, Pečina Grbočica near Trnovo, Pečina u Pečkom Brdu near Začir, Pečina Ostrin Vranjini northeast of Virpazar, Babotuša Spilja near Trnovo and Jabukov do Pečina near Komarno ( Gittenberger 1969 , 1975 ). Recently discovered new sites fall within the boundaries of the previously known range. All georeferenced records (and probably the non-georeferenced ones too) came from Lower Triassic limestone ( Fig. 2 ).
