Bombus flavidus lutescens (Pérez, 1890)

It is spread mainly in the Pyrenees (Ornosa & Torres 2009), although there is a quote from the Cantabrian Range (Obeso 1992). It has an orophilous tendency (Fig. 7), between 1800 and 2520 m.

The last samples (Fig. 4) were collected in a wet alpine pasture in a peatland in the upper limit of a fir-pine area with Abies alba, Pinus sylvestris L. and Pinus uncinata, with scattered patches of creeping juniper scrub, cranberry and heather, among others, also on Vaccinium myrtillus and Trifolium pratense at 2020 m.
