Distribution
Cernuellopsis ghisottii is endemic to the Italian Peninsula. Only few populations are known from the central and south Apennines between 1500 and 2100 m. The species inhabits rocky areas (i.g. inland cliffs, mountain peaks) and grasslands. The type locality is Calabria, Mt. Pollino, Passo del Colle del Dragone (Italy).[3]
