6.9 Mecostethus parapleurus (Hagenbach, 1822)

Ch: ASE; ERL: LC; P; %C: 1.44; ER: 770-825 m; Ph: IX-X

This species proved to occur only at low elevations in relatively moist meadows near the Po river, especially in the surroundings of Calcinere (Paesana). M. parapleurus is considered in decline in Italian lowlands, due in particular to wetland habitats loss (Massa et al. 2012).
