Abstract

Balaustium murorum is considered to be widely distributed in the western part of the Palearctic region of Eurasia and has recently been reported for redescription and ecological information (e.g., Wohltmann 2000; Mąkol 2010). Since B. murorum has been widely reported in Japan since the 1980s, it has been considered to be an introduced species from Europe (M. Shiba, personal communication).
