Flavipanurgus kastiliensis
(Warncke, 1985)
Distribution:
Spain
and
Portugal
only (
Patiny 2012a
;
Cross & Wood 2018
).
Notes:
Originally described from northern
Iberia
as a subspecies of
Flavipanurgus ibericus
(Warncke, 1972)
,
F. kastiliensis
was raised to species status by
Cross & Wood (2018)
due to distinct genetic, dietary, and distributional differences.
Flavipanurgus kastiliensis
is an oligolege of
Sedum
(Crassulaceae)
, whereas
F. ibericus
is an oligolege of
Jasione
(Campanulaceae)
.
Flavipanurgus kastiliensis
is known from northern
Portugal
with 13 confirmed records from Minho and Trás-os-montes provinces between
2014 and 2019
, and the species can be easily found in northern hilly areas wherever
Sedum
species grow in abundance.
