NOTES. This species is known for Central Italy (Latium, Tuscany), Sardinia, Sicily, Mal-
tese Archipelago and doubtfully for Corsica (Invrea, 1964; Schembri, 1983; Monastra,
1990). Out of the Italian minor islands, it was previously recorded only for Lipari (Tur-
risi, 1999). B. leopoldinus was described relatively recently and its apparent
distributional absence in the Southern Italian regions could be due to research fault. This
species occurs in a wide range of habitats and seems to be one of the most common
Mutillids in Sardinia and Sicily (P. Lo Cascio and M. Romano, pers. obs.).
