Remarks.
Epigean species known only from the Gargano promontory (
Apulia
) (
Fig. 37
), where it is common in the leaf litter of beech forest.
Gardini (1998)
doubtfully referred to
Acanthocreagris italica
two nymphs (1T 1D) from Martina
Franca
in Apulian Murge (Taranto Prov.). I believe it was a misidentification, probably for
Acanthocreagris apulica
Callaini, 1986
, however not verifiable as these specimens cannot be traced in the Gardini collection and must be considered lost.
