Distribution
Europe (Nenwig et al. 2020), widespread along the entire Italian peninsula and in Sicily (Pantini & Isaia 2019).
Remarks
Species widely distributed, but Italian records are sparse and restricted to the north and the south of the country. Our new records confirm the presence of C. serratus in numerous regions of Central Italy.
