“…Therefore, also for this species, its precise area of distribution requires further investigation. To fill these knowledge gaps, in recent years some studies have been performed in Croatia (Brana et al 2014), Algeria (Medjahdi et al 2018), and Italy (Carta et al 2008;Médail et al 2016), which have expanded its known distribution (Figure 4B).
