Notes

This is an endangered species (IUCN 2021) and our specimen is the first report for the Italian fauna (Fig. 1). A single female was collected by one of the authors (UM) in La Mandria Natural Park (Fig. 2) on a sap-run on a large Quercus tree at 5: 30 p. m. The observation is in accordance with Speight 2020 who reported late afternoon activity for this rare species.
