Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi,

Another one from Portugal.
collected (2 specimens) in 6.july.2010 in a small clearing at the edge of River Beça (41.562569°/-7.819298°). I have keyed this to Stenopterus mauritanicus Lucas, 1849 but Bense, 1995 put this only in the extrem south of Iberian Peninsula (this being found in north of Portugal), the reason for my question mark.

Thanks for your help,
cosmln

It is correct Cosmin.
Bense's book was published in 1997. In Spain it is also known from the northern provinces (e.g. Caceres and Cantabria).
Where is River Beça (Province ?).

thanks a lot for your help, this is in the region Vila Real (you have also the coordinates there) (at least this region I think it is after Google Earth )
