Mideopsis crassipes Soar, 1904

Distribution: Holarctic. Widespread in Europe, but rare in the Mediterranean area.

BIN: BOLD:ACR9760.

Remarks: The sequence OHHKK135-23 of the specimen from Ohrid Lake assigned by Królikowska et al. (2024) to M. roztoczensis belongs to BIN: ACR9760 which groups specimens of M. crassipes from the Netherlands, Norway, Russia and Poland (see Pešić et al. 2023d). Therefore, the record of M. roztoczensis from Ohrid Lake should be rejected and assigned to M. crassipes , a species known from the latter lake.
