Notes
. New species for the fauna of
Macedonia
. There are morphologic differences between the specimens from the Ruen Peak and the
holotype
which was found in a cave in the eastern part of the Osogovo Mt. (
Bulgaria
). Only one male specimen was collected on Ruen Peak. The comparison of the male genitalia between the last specimen and the
holotype
showed greater similarity than their external morphology suggested. Larger series of specimens is needed to clarify this problem.
