20. Ephippiochthonius tetrachelatus (Preyssler, 1790)

Distribution in Serbia: an unnamed cave, village of Pričevići, near Valjevo [ Ćurčić, 1972c]; Bogovinska Pećina Cave, village of Bogovina, near Boljevac [ Đurović, 1998]; eastern Serbia, without precise locality [ Ćurčić, 1976b]; Mt. Avala, near Belgrade [ Dimitrijević, 1992]; Petrovaradin vicinity [ Hadži, 1933c]; Srem, without precise locality [ Ćurčić, 1976b]; Šumadija, without precise locality [ Ćurčić, 1976b]; Topčider Park, Belgrade [ Poinar, Ćurčić, 1994]; western Serbia, without precise locality [ Ćurčić, 1976b].

World distribution: Holarctic, Neotropical region and Australian region [ Harvey, 2013].

Note. Gardini [2009a] designated and described a male neotype of this species, since the only existing type specimen is believed to have been lost or destroyed. It is possible that more than one species are confused under E. tetrachelatus [ Harvey, 1987; Gardini, 2009b], which might be true for certain records from Serbia, especially the older ones [ Hadži, 1933c; Ćurčić, 1972c, 1976b].
