Remarks.
Like other members of the
hufelandi
group, this species requires careful taxonomic analysis, including egg morphology, to properly differentiate the individual species (see
Bertolani & Rebecchi 1993
for the review). This recently described species is recorded from the
type
locality and this tentative report (marked as cf.) from
Tunisia
(
Gąsiorek
et al.

).
