038DE954E434FFE0A090FE93FBF0FA05.taxon	discussion	Comments The records of P. (P.) tunicatus presented in this study, besides adding the species to the Portuguese mirid catalogue, significantly expand its known distribution range in northern Iberia, as shown in Map 1. This extensive westward expansion suggests a very poor knowledge about the species area of occurrence in both the Spanish and Portuguese territories which may be derived from a lower field sampling effort during its predominantly early autumnal adult phenology [all the Iberian records presented by RIBES (1982), GOULA (1986, 1988) and PAGOLA-CARTE et al. (2005, 2006) are from late September and early to mid-October, as the new ones presented here].	en	Grosso-Silva, José Manuel, Valkenburg, Thijs, Gonçalves, Ernesto (2024): Pantilius (Pantilius) tunicatus (Fabricius, 1781) (Hemiptera: Miridae: Mirinae), new species for Portugal.
