Astatumen bartosi (
Weglarska
, 1959)
Localities and specimen numbers.
XIV: 1 specimen.
Remarks.
Our specimen corresponds perfectly with characters of
Astatumen bartosi
proposed by
Dastych (1988)
with the main difference between
Astatumen bartosi
and
Astatumen trinacriae
being the absence/presence of cuticular bars on legs
II-III
. Due to the notorious difficulties in differentiating the two species, the actual distribution of
Astatumen bartosi
cannot currently be described with confidence.
McInnes (1994)
cited this species from several localities in Europe and from single African, Asian and South American sites.
