Notes.
Despite being frequently recorded from Sardinia (see above) and
Corsica
, this species is endemic to mainland Sicily and the Egadi Islands (Sicily) (
Luigioni 1929
;
Penati & Vienna 2002
,
2005
,
2006a
). In fact, its presence in Sardinia (and
Corsica
) is not documented by any precise locality name in the literature (
cf.
Yélamos 1995
), nor was it confirmed by any specimens in the examined collections; thus, the species should, without a doubt, be considered as absent from Sardinia.
