Description

Polydesmus angustus Latzel, 1884.

This vagile polydesmid, quite frequently found in Europe, is progressing in an easterly direction. It is also colonising places containing waste wood. In semi-cultivated countryside it is generally sub-dominant to Polydesmus complanatus (Linnaeus, 1761). Lednice in southern Moravia is the most eastern location of this species so far discovered. In the Czech Republic it was found in 1971, in Central Bohemia, Distr. Kolín, Kolín-Borky forest. It generally colonises new territories on its own, but may also be transported in gardening soil.
