Leptispa filiformis
(Germar, 1842)
Material examined: LISBOA: Sintra: Algueirão (29
SMC
79),
20-05-1961
,
1 specimen
,
L. Ambar
leg., Grosso-Silva collection, formerly in the collection of
Tristão
Branco
.
Comments: Previously recorded only once from
Portugal
, from Paiã (Loures), where it was collected twice, in
August 1940
and in
June 1946
(
CARVALHO, 1950
). The occurrence of the species in
Portugal
is not reflected in the works by
WARCHAŁOWSKI (2003)
And
BOROWIEC & SEKERKA (2010)
. As a result, the new record presented here, albeit over 50 years old, can be regarded as a confirmation of the presence of
Leptispa filiformis
in the central-western part of continental
Portugal
and will hopefully stimulate the search for this very rare species. In Spain, according to
VELA LÓPEZ & BASTAZO PARRAS (2008)
, this species is only known from the southern provinces of
Cádiz And
MálAgA, being included by these Authors in the “DAtA deficient” cAtegory in the
Andalusian Invertebrate Red Data Book
.
