    Notes

    A record from Mt Athos (Strid & Tan 1991: 674) has not been recently confirmed (Strid 2016b: 578, map 2277). F. phitosia, recently described from a single collection in the Magnisia peninsula (EC) just north of the island of Evvia (Kamari & al. 2017), is in every detail identical with F. euboeica. The only supposedly distinguishing character is the fact that the style is divided up to half in the former and up to 1/3 in the latter. This character, however, is variable even within populations (A. Strid)..
