It is worth mentioning that + +M. meridionalis + +remains unconfirmed for the country, its only record being that by +SEABRA (1926 +, from São Martinho de Anta, northeastern +Portugal +). + + + + +The ecology of + +M. maghrebinus + +is completely unknown, the only available information being the fact that in Ávila it was collected on moss over rocky substrate ( + +COSTAS +et al +., 2005 + +, +2009 +), which was also the case in Seia, where both specimens were collected using a beating tray on a rock wall densely covered with moss and ferns. + + + + + \ No newline at end of file
