In Portugal the species was recorded from three districts, namely Beja ( OLIVEIRA, 1895: Beja), Seṫbal ( SEABRA, 1926: Alfeite), and Faro ( PISSARRO, 1951: Várzea da Orada and Serra de Monchique). The new records are the first in the country in over 50 years and include three new districts ( Portalegre, Santarém, and Vila Real) that expand the known range to the north, as shown in Map 1 View Map 1 .
