Material examined.

Portugal, Bragança • Vinhais, Gasparona , 41.85°N, 7.013°W, 693 m a.s.l., 6 Jul. 2023, leg. Ferreira & Padilha, 1 ♀ (sequenced) GoogleMaps .

Remarks.

The single Portuguese specimen molecularly analyzed in this study was a juvenile female that does not allow for a confident identification to the species level. Molecular data, however, revealed that the DNA barcode of the Portuguese specimen falls into BOLD: AEI 9183, which includes one specimen from Montenegro, morphologically assigned by the first author to T. elliptica .

Distribution.

Palaearctic. New for Portugal.
