Eukiefferiella bedmari
Vilchez-Quero & Laville, 1987
Material examined.
3 pupal exuvia, Latoricja River (S 4),
5 May 2018
.
Distribution.
Palaearctic.
France
,
Spain
,
Greece
,
Corsica
,
Turkey
,
Lebanon
,

, and
Morocco
(
Ashe and O’Connor 2012

Habitat.
Streams and rivers (
Laville and Langton 2002
;
Chaib et al. 2013
;
Moubayed-Breil and Ashe 2016
).
Remarks.
E. bedmari
is a circum-mediterranean faunistic element (
Laville and Reiss 1992
;
Moubayed-Breil 2008
). Our unexpected extra-Mediterranean finding suggests the relict character of its population in the Carpathians (see comments to
Cricotopus beckeri
).
