Chaetozone setosa Malmgren, 1867
Notes
Questionable status. Species complex.
Chaetozone setosa
is a complex of pseudo-cryptic species, with at least five species in northern Europe alone (
Chambers and Woodham 2003
). Several authors (e.g.
Simboura 1996
,
Cinar
and Ergen 2007
,
Mikac 2015
) doubt the validity of Mediterranean records, as the species has likely been confused with
Chaetozone gibber
Woodham & Chambers, 1994,
Chaetozone corona
Berkeley & Berkeley, 1941 or
Chaetozone carpenteri
McIntosh, 1911 and probably does not occur in the Mediterranean.
