Forelia longipalpis Maglio 1924
Forelia longipalpis Maglio, 1924 Material examined. Portugal, Guarda: • Gouveia, Ribeira da Fervença, Barragem do Vale do Rossim, 40.4°N, 7.589°W, 1418 m a.s.l., 22 Aug. 2023 leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco, Padilha, Andrade & Stur, 3 ♀, 1 deutonymph (sequenced); • Seia, Rio Alva, Nossa Senhora do Desterro, river, 40.395°N, 7.694°W, 791 m a.s.l., 23 Aug. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco & Padilha, 1 ♀ (sequenced); • Manteigas, Mondego, Covão da Ponte, 40.443°N, 7.514°W, 999 m a.s.l., 24 Aug. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco & Padilha, 1 ♀ (sequenced). Remarks. All barcoded specimens in our study were females. The shape of the genital field of specimens from Portugal morphologically match the description of F. longipalpis following Gerecke et al. (2016). The sequenced specimens cluster into two unique BINs (BOLD: AFX 2876, BOLD: AFV 3893), indicating the need for further taxonomic revision of this species. However, this revision should be postponed until males are available. Distribution. Widespread in Europe; new record for Portugal.
