With this new report of Stygioides italica Mazzei & Yakovlev, 2016 for southern Italy (Calabria: Monte Pollino), we take the opportunity to survey some populations from central and southern Italy from a molecular-genetic point of view and to highlight some morphoanatomical characters that may facilitate the distinction between the recent S. italica Mazzei & Yakovlev and Stygioides colchica (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851).
