Records
(Map 41): Central Predbalkan: Veliko Tarnovo ( Viehmeyer 1922 ), Preobrazhenski monastery (10 km by Veliko Tarnovo), Dryanovo ( Atanassov and Dlusskij 1992 ); Eastern Predbalkan: Veliki Preslav ( Atanassov and Dlusskij 1992 ).
Notes:
Viehmeyer (1922) described Strongylognathus huberi rehbinderi var. bulgarica from Bulgaria, but this name is unavailable (quadrinomen). Later Pisarski (1966) proposed the first available name for this form ( Strongylognathus rehbinderi bulgaricus ) and considered Strongylognathus kratochvili as its junior synonym. Nevertheless, based on the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999) the author of Strongylognathus bulgaricus is Pisarski (1966) , thus the name Strongylognathus kratochvili has priority. Atanassov and Dlusskij (1992) recorded this species as Strongylognathus bulgaricus .
Conservation Status:
Vulnerable D2 (IUCN).
