Remarks. Glyptholaspis saprophila was firstly described by Mašán (2003) from Slovakia, based on females only. Later, Özbek et al. (2015a) recorded both female and male specimens of this species from the provinces of Gümüşhane and Tokat in Türkiye. In the present study, both female and male specimens of the species were identified from this region. These specimens are morphologically similar to those previously described.
