Tomosvaryella disjuncta ( Becker, 1900)

FRANCE: Alpes-Maritimes , Biot, 3–10.x.2010, A. Piton, det. P. Withers [1♂, PCPW]; same data as previous, 11–20.x.2010, A. Piton, det. P. Withers [1♂, PCPW] .

Remarks. This is the second record of T. disjuncta from Europe and France. The species was originally described from Egypt and only recently recorded from Val les Bains (Ardèche) by Withers (2006). Kuznetzov (1993) redescribed the species and designated a lectotype which has been studied and illustrated ( Figs 6B , 7A ).
