REMARKS
Recently Galkowski et al. (2010) redescribed S. fugax (Latreille, 1798). They also indicated four species groups distributed in Europe and the Mediterranean region. Bračko et al. (2016) mentioned that in Greece S. fugax is less common than S. lusitanica Emery, 1915a which dominated lowland and warm areas in the country. On the other hand, both species complexes have many undetermined species (Bračko et al. 2016). Therefore, the material is given here as uncertain taxa until taxonomical chaos solved.
