Notes

Although easily recognised and quite common, this species has not been observed in hibernation for over 125 years. Combining this with the known ecology of this species and the general ecology of Platylabini, we conclude more data are necessary to confirm this report.

Status: Unverified.

Records: France, ca. 1896.

Hibernacula: M (1).

Sources: Berthoumieu (1896) [ Platylabus dimidiatus Grav. ].

Also mentioned in: Morley (1903) [ P. dimidiatus Grav. ], Constantineanu (1959) [ P. exhortator Fabr. ].
