Its native distribution range includes China and Korea, while outside of this range it is currently known from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (DÖBERL, 2010; FAGOT &amp; LIBERT, 2016; VIÑOLAS et al., 2016; SADY, 2020).</p><p>In the Iberian Peninsula, VIÑOLAS et al. (2016) recorded L. xanthodera from the  Spanish province of Girona (Map 1). In this study, we present the first Portuguese records of the species derived from the study of one specimen deposited in the collection of MHNC-UP (Museu de História Natural e da Ciência da Universidade do Porto, Portugal) and a photograph uploaded to the citizen science online platform Biodiversity4all.org.</p><p>Material examined</p><p>Porto district:</p><p>— Porto municipality: Porto (city) (41.164346, -8.663410; MGRS 100 km 2 square: 29TNF25), 09/04/2023, 1 ♀, Grosso-Silva leg., MHNC-UP col.
