Plagiognathus olivaceus Reuter, 1880: 23 (n. sp.).

I have examined three specimens of this species from Sines, Portugal, that were collected and identified by Eckerlein. I did not dissect the male genitalia ; however, the figures provided by Wagner (1955) would clearly place this taxon in Plagiognathus .

HOSTS: Thymus vulgaris (Wagner, 1955) ; Lavandula stoechas (Eckerlein material) ( Lamiaceae ).
