Distribution. Crimea and Turkey ( Kuznetsov 1977b ; Doġan 2004b , 2007; Erman et al . 2007 ). Remarks. This species, known from Crimea and Turkey , can be characterized by virtue of the differing forms of the dorsal body setae ( Kuznetsov 1977b ; Doġan 2004b ). Our specimens identified as L. toleratus exhibit all the characters of other known specimens of the species.
