|  MAP OF DISTRIBUTION OF PARAPSEUDOLEPTOMESOCHRA ITALICA 
Parapseudoleptomesochra italica was described by Pesce & Petkovski (1980) as endemic to Italy (anchialine and phreatic habitats of central and southern Apennines);    the successive discoveries of the  species in ground waters of Switzerland and Romania (Movile cave)  greatly complicates its ecological and biogeographical construction, but  the material from Movile cave, which is in course of re-examination, could belong to an undescribed species.
