Distribution Pancarpathian subendemic. Notes This species is closely and primarily associated with the Carpathian Mts. ( Novikoff and Hurdu 2015 ); however, it also rarely occurs in the Ukrainian lowland areas in Volhyn ( Chopyk 1976 ) and Podillia ( Kobiv 2007 , Chorney 2011 ) going far from the mountain range. As a result, Malynovskiy et al. (2002) considered it Carpathian-Volhynia-Podolian species and Chorney (2011) treated it as a non-endemic taxon with a Central European distribution range. Nevertheless, numerous authors (e.g. Pawlowski (1961) , Tasenkevich (2003) , Kobiv (2007) , Piekos-Mirkowa and Mirek (2011) , Hurdu et al. (2012) , Negrean et al. (2015) , Novikoff and Hurdu (2015) , Mraz et al. (2016) and Kliment et al. (2016) ) treated S. cordatum as a Carpathian endemic or subendemic species. Considering the extension of S. cordatum 's distribution range to the lowlands, it cannot be considered endemic and, therefore, it is listed here as a subendemic. However, further phylogeographical studies of this species are of great interest and would clarify its disjunctive distribution pattern.
