Description
Zodarion germanicum (C.L. Koch, 1837)
The Balkans records of Z. germanicum from Bulgaria: Vratsa (Drensky 1913: 60, sub Zodarium (Enio) g.), Greece: Attika (Roewer, 1928: 119),Alexandroupolis (Drensky 1928: 187, sub Zodarium g.) and Parnis Oros (Hadjissarantos, 1940: 34, sub Zodarium g.) and from North Macedonia: Gevgelija (Stojićević, 1929: 41, sub Zodarium g.), cannot be checked because the materials are probably lost. All other records from Bulgaria by Drensky (1913, 1921, 1932, 1936a, 1940) have been re-examined and found to refer to Z. pirini Drensky, 1921 (Deltshev 1987). According to Bosmans (1997) the confirmed records of Z. germanicum are located much further north—in northeastern Croatia and northern Serbia (Djakovo and Fruska Gora) and all southern records in the Balkans are very doubtful. We completely agree with his assessment, moreover, all available re-examined specimens are misidentified and no proven records in the last over 80 years; therefore, we remove Z. germanicum from the checklists of Bulgaria, Greece and North Macedonia.
