Coll. Angelier, all labeled “ Megapus pyrenaicus C. Ang. ” [nom. nud.]: Pyr.-Orient.: 5 33, one Ƥ, Tèt, Thues-les-bains, 12.09.1949 ; one 3, one Ƥ, Carol, La Tour de Carol, 0 8.09.1949. Ariège: one 3, one Ƥ, L’Hospitalet, Cascade de Sirca, 0 7.09.1949. Discussion. The specimens on which C. Angelier obviously planned the description of a species new to science, are considerably damaged by desiccating of the mounting medium and squeezing of appandages such that not all characters diagnostic for the species can be verified from all specimens. However, in all males the highly characteristic fusion of the coxal plates is visible – in more juvenile specimens represented by localized merging points, in aged specimens visible as a large continuous coxal field. Distribution. Central, Western and Southeastern Europe, Turkey . The new record extends the known area considerably westwards.
