In 2015 two new species of Peripodisma have been described from Albania. This is quite remarkable, as the genus contained only one species, known from Greece (Epirus): E. tymphii. In the summer of 2014 Peripodisma llofizii was discovered in the Gjirokastër region of Albania. Peripodisma ceraunii was found in the Vlora district in southern Albania.
