Diplocephalus cristatus

Description

Diplocephalus cristatus (Blackwall, 1833)

MATERIAL. — La Méa, rocky lands with snow, 2532 m, 02.VII.2017, Isaia & Mammola leg., 3♀, 2♂, coll. MI.

CHOROTYPE. — EUR.

MACROHABITAT. — Rocky lands.

NOTE. — Recently, Bosmans & Oger (2018) reconsidered the status of D. cristatus by defining two morphs: cristatus and foraminifer. All specimens collected here belong to the morph foraminifer. The presence of this morph in the area of Barcelonnette was already documented by Pickard-Cambridge (1875) and Simon (1926). This morph is mostly distributed in the southern part of Europe (Nentwig et al. 2018). According to Bosmans & Oger (2018), this morph has a narrower range of specialized habitats than cristatus.
