Description

Entosthodon muhlenbergii (Turner) REMARKS

Fife is known from Malta only by some old records (Baur 1891; Sickenberger 1892, as Funaria calcarea; Bottini, 1907, as F. mediterranea + var. patula; Sommier & Caruana Gatto, 1915) and its occurrence there should be confirmed. It is a more northern species penetrating the Mediterranean region only as far as Rome, with a single locality at high altitude in Turkey (Crundwell & Nyholm 1974). In the Iberian Peninsula, E. muhlenbergii is restricted to altitudes above 1000 m (Brugués & Ruiz 2010). Its occurrence on the Maltese Islands seems unlikely. Evaluated as “data deficient” by Hodgetts (2015).
