Type locality “Bourguignat does not mention a locality in his original description. In his oeuvres publication from 1891 in the register (p. 254), he mentioned the locality „Valachie” for sphaeridia; going to the collection, MHNG 4861 is recorded from “Giurgewo”, and thus from what at his time could be considered the “Valachie” [Glöer & Georgiev, 2014: 97]. Most probably, the type locality of this species should be referred to as “Giurgewo (= Giurgiu, Romania)” (the habitat of the syntype). [details]
