Ecological notes.
1150–1650 m
; the two records from Parnonas Mt. have been collected in montane grasslands, and in
Pinus
forests, respectively.
Remarks.
Stenotaenia rhodopensis
is known to occur in the Rhodopes mountain range in
Bulgaria
, the Carpathian Mountains in
Romania
, and some neighbouring regions. The four specimens of
S. rhodopensis
examined here agree with the original description as it shows the following main features: body size (length 25, 28 and
30 mm
); 55 leg bearing segments; chitin lines reaching the anterior condyles; anterior margin of the forcipular coxosternum straight; sternal pore areas in the anterior part of the trunk subtriangular; coxopleuron with one anterior pouch with pores and one posterior single pore (Bonato & Minelli 2008). The record under
Geophilus linearis
C.L. Koch, 1835
, “Arkadía: Óros Ménalon, Vitina” published in
Zapparoli (2002: 104)
has been here revised by one of us (MZ) and assigned to this species according to Bonato & Minelli, (2002), The record from “Ahaïa: Klitoría, Zaroúhla,” also under
Geophilus linearis
in
Zapparoli (2002: 104)
, is due to a misprint.
