Notes.
A species easily recognizable by the shape of pronotum, rather depressed with well visible anterior angles, and by the reddish margin all around the body, more evident on sides of pronotum. Already reported for
Sardinia
by
Bertolini (1899
–1904: 73),
Luigioni (1929: 626)
and
Porta (1929)
. Despite being rare, it has been repeatedly collected with traps at Marganai (see below) all year round except in summer.
