Material examined.

• 1 ♀ ( TNU 10189 ), Crimea, Simferopol Distr., central part of Tshatyr-Dagh Yaila, nr Vyalovsky Forest, Alushtinskaya Cave , 11. II. 2015, I. S. Turbanov leg. • 3 ♀♀ ( TNU 10187 ), Crimea, Belogorsk Distr., northeastern part of Karabi Yaila, Karani-Koba Cave , 29. I. 2014, I. S. Turbanov leg.

Distribution.

East European nemoral: Ukraine and the south part of European Russia. The Crimea represents the southernmost limit of the species range ( Kovblyuk 2004 b; Kovblyuk and Kastrygina 2015; Nentwig et al. 2024).

Records from the Crimean caves.

Map (Fig. 17 A View Figure 17 – purple circle). Unnamed cave near the city of Bakhchisarai, Alushtinskaya Сave in Tshatyr-Dagh Yaila, and Karani-Koba Cave in Karabi Yaila ( Evtushenko 2004; present data).

Ecology.

A troglophile ( Evtushenko 2004; Zagorodniuk and Vargovitsh 2004). In Crimea, T. lapicidinarum is a common species, occurring in all landscape zones from the seashore to yaila ( Kovblyuk 2004 b). In addition to the Crimean subterranean biotopes, this species has also been recorded from catacombs of Odessa, Ukraine ( Deli et al. 2017). This species is common in terrestrial habitats, but is rarely found in caves, and so is here classified as a subtroglophile.
