Material examined.

1 ♂ (Carlino, Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia) – 1 ♂, 6 ♀♀, 4 MJ (Floridia, Siracusa, Sicily).

Distribution.

Probably widely distributed in Europe, but all data before 1986 should be checked – they most likely concern not only Eosentomon armatum, but also some other similar species (Szeptycki 2007).
