This species is indicated as occurring in Sicily most probably based on some specimens in VIT identified as Peritelus parvulus , partly from Messina, and partly from Monte Ciccia. However, after studying the Vitale collection, we discovered that those from the first locality are P. obscura , and those from the second are P . obscurella . Consequently P. parvula , known from Piedmont, Lombardy, Liguria and Tuscany, is excluded from the Sicilian fauna.
