(1999) , a series of specimens having been collected in two localities of Tuscany , central Italy . No additional data were reported by Pedroni (2004) , Rheinheimer (2004) or Alonso-Zarazaga (2004) . Four specimens were caught by Malaise traps at two localities (see above): these are the first records for Sardinia . At the first site this species was trapped in a Quercus ilex (Fagaceae) forest, at the second in a clearing with Q . ilex and Q . suber trees along a stream. Nothing is known on the biology of this rare species, only occurring in Algeria ( Rheinheimer 2004 ) and in the above-mentioned Italian regions.
