Remark: The type specimen(s) were not in Rosenhauer's collection in the ZSM and hence could not be examined. The localities in the West (Alpes Maritimes) and those in the East (Trentino) are quite separate from each other, although recent records from Lombardia ( Pedroni 2013 ) may explain this gap simply with presently missing records in-between.
