Lebertia (Pilolebertia) insignis Neuman, 1880 Material examined. Portugal, Guarda: • Manteigas, Poço do Inferno, 40.373°N, 7.516°W, 1078 m a.s.l., 21 Aug. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco & Padilha, 1 ♂ (sequenced); • Seia, Rio Alva, Praia fluvial de Vila Cova a Coelheira, river, 40.379°N, 7.736°W, 312 m a.s.l., 23 Aug. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco & Padilha, 1 ♂ (sequenced). Porto, • Lousada, Moinho da Tapada, 41.263°N, 8.307°W, 178 m a.s.l., 1 Sep. 2023, Ferreira, Sousa, Cruz-Oliveira & Girão, 1 ♀ (sequenced). Remarks. The sequenced specimens from Portugal clustered within two BINs, BOLD: AEB 9107, which includes specimens of L. insignis from Norway, Montenegro, Poland and Slovakia, and the unique BOLD: AFW 6960, which includes one specimen from this study collected in Rio Alva in Guarda Province. The p - distance between these two BINs was estimated at 9.79 %, indicating the need for taxonomic revision of L insignis complex to identify possible undescribed cryptic species. Distribution. Central, Western and Northern Europe. Rare in the Mediterranean and on the Iberian Peninsula previously known only from Oviedo in Spain (Lundblad 1956). New for Portugal.
