Limnesia (Limnesia) maculata
Limnesia (Limnesia) maculata (Müller, 1776) Material examined. Portugal, Guarda: • Seia, Rio Alva, Praia Fluvial de Sabugueiro, river, 40.401°N, 7.64°W, 1021 m a.s.l., 24 Aug. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco & Padilha, 1 ♀ (sequenced). Beja • Mértola, Moinho de Alferes 2, 37.503°N, 7.687°W, 19 May 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco, Ekrem, Stur & Turaccio, 1 ♂ (juv.) (sequenced); • Mértola, Herdade de Alagães, pond, 37.673°N, 7.848°W, 18 May 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco, Ekrem, Stur & Turaccio, 1 ♂, 1 ♀ (sequenced). Remarks. The Portuguese specimens molecularly analyzed in this study match the description of L. maculata. These individuals form a unique BIN (BOLD: AFW 6935), with the nearest neighboring BIN being BOLD: ACS 0248, which includes specimens of L. maculata from Norway, the Netherlands and France. The p - distance between these two clusters was estimated at 4.3 %. Distribution. Holarctic. Widespread in Europe. In Portugal previously reported from Alentejo (Ribeira de Odivelas; Lundblad 1956).
