Bombus humilis quasimuscorum
(Vogt, 1909)
It is widely distributed in the northern half of the peninsula, between 150 and
2000 m
(
Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez 2004
).
At present it has been collected in Pyrenean forest and supraforestal grassland, more rarely in the latter, and in open areas, between 850 and
1950 m
(
