Chorotype. Mediterranean: from the east coast of the Black Sea to Portugal ( Liberti 2004a ). In Italy it can be found along the Tyrrhenian coast from Liguria to Sicily and in several of the neighbouring Tyrrhenian islands ( Liberti 2004a ). Affinities: rather close to D. ( M .) iteratus and D. ( M .) croceipes , which have a smaller range. Notes. Reported by Schilsky (1895) , Bertolini (1899 –1904) and Sainte-Claire Deville (1908) for Sardinia , where it is uncommon and is usually collected in just a few specimens. It can be easily differentiated from the other Mesodasytes by the colour of legs and antennae.
