BIOLOGY. This is a cryptic and likely often overlooked species. It can be separated from its closest relatives by the very narrow, yellow borders on tergites. There is little data on the biology of the species. The host is unknown. Other species of Peribaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 are polyphagous on Lepidoptera [ Tschorsnig, 2017]. It is quite rare in Central Europe, and prefers transparent forest edges, shrubs, and heather [Lutovanovas et al., 2015]. The surrounding biotope is a mixed forest. In the first tier, there are Pinus sylvestris L. with Betula pendula Roth and Populus tremula L. The second tier and shrubs are represent- ed by S. aucuparia , Padus avium Mill. , Salix sp. The forest surrounds a large clearing, where the herbaceous vegetation is very abundant in species diversity and cover density.
