Lebertia (Pilolebertia) algeriensis Lundblad 1942

Lebertia (Pilolebertia) algeriensis Lundblad, 1942 Material examined. Portugal, Guarda: • Gouveia, Rio Mondego Casais de Folgosinho, 40.454°N, 7.493°W, 976 m a.s.l., 24 Aug. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco & Padilha, 1 ♀ (sequenced; Table 1); • 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 ♂, 1 ♀ (sequenced). Remarks. The Portuguese specimens molecularly analyzed in this study match the description of Lebertia algeriensis. Genetic data indicate that all examined specimens form a unique BIN (BOLD: AFV 0271), and the closest neighboring BIN is that of L. inaequalis (BOLD: AEF 5683) from North Macedonia. The p - distance between these two BINs was estimated at 4.53 %. Distribution. Palaearctic. Gerecke (2009) mentioned that several published records of L. inaequalis (Koch, 1837) from the Mediterranean region could refer to similar L. longiseta or L. algeriensis. New for Portugal.
