CHOROTYPE. — EUR.
MACROHABITAT. — Rocky lands.
NOTE. — Recently,
Bosmans & Oger (2018)
reconsidered the status of
D. cristatus
by defining two morphs:
cristatus
and
foraminifer
. All specimens collected here belong to the morph
foraminifer.
The presence of this morph in the area of Barcelonnette was already documented by Pickard-Cambridge (1875) and
Simon (1926)
. This morph is mostly distributed in the southern part of Europe (
Nentwig
et al.
2018
). According to
Bosmans & Oger (2018)
, this morph has a narrower range of specialized habitats than
cristatus
.
