.
Remarks.
First data since the original description of the species, collected close to the
type
locality. It supposedly inhabits higher regions of the Peloponnese (
Strasser 1974
). Although not fitting perfectly into the subgenus (
i.e.
male second leg-pair without a distinct hump), Strasser suggested putting it into
Cyphobrachyiulus
Verhoeff, 1900
according to gonopods (for revision of the subgenus see
Strasser 1974
,
1976
).
