Distribution - Endonura dalensi is a species with West-Mediterranean distribution (Fig. 1). It is known from France, Spain and the island of Sardinia (DEHARVENG 1979, JORDANA et al. 1997, DALLAI 1980, LUCIÁNEZ & SIMON 1988). It is supposed to be an oriental Pyrenean species, but DALLAI (1980) described the subspecies Endonura dalensi sardosa, which was found on the island of Sardinia. The subspecies differs from the continental (nominotypical) specimens of Endonura dalensi in the less developed dorso-internal tubercles of the Fig. 1.
