Remarks

This species has the same locus typicus as L. sarajevensis to which it is similar. Makarov et al. (2004) claim that it is a Macedonian endemic. Mauriès et al. (1997) proposed the replacement name Leptoiulus jaroslavi to avoid secondary homonymy with Macedoiulus storkani Verhoeff, 1932 . Inasmuch as the latter species is regarded as a junior synonym of Leptoiulus sarajevensis Verhoeff, 1898, the replacement is unnecessary.

Attems’ data cite presence in Epirus in Greece and Albania; however, many of these were collected in the first decade of the 20 th century and do not apply to present day national boundaries – several species quoted by Attems for Albania are often in other bordering countries, or even Bulgaria.
