status

 

Dichromacalles (Dichromacalles) creticus (Reitter, 1916) View in CoL

Material examined. Sarakíniko, m 20, 20/ 25.IV.2015 (3).

Distribution. Hitherto known only from Crete ( Stüben & Alonso-Zarazaga 2013).

Collecting circumstances. Walking on a wall outside a house.

Notes. The pattern of the three Gavdos specimens slightly differs from that of the typical ones from Crete figured by Bahr (2001) in being much darker as to be difficult to clearly see the paler stripes of elytra. It is noteworthy that also in Crete can be found specimens similar to those from Gavdos among those with striking pale bands (pers. obs.)
