Abstract

Detailed examination of material of Peponocranium orbiculatum (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1882) from different private and museumcollections disclosed a new species for science. We here describe Peponocranium ambrosii sp. nov. and provide drawings and photographs of the diagnostic characters of the species. In addition, we present data on its ecology, conservation and distribution, encompassing montane habitats in Switzerland, Italy and Austria.
