Microlestes luctuosus (Holdhaus, 1904)

Distribution

Southern Europe and Southwest Asia, widespread and common in Greece ( Arndt et al. 2011).

Notes

It prefers warm, dry places ( Cárdenas Talaverón and Piella 1985) on clayey soils ( Trautner and Geigenmüller 1987). It may be found in areas of tall vegetation, those of over 20 cm in height ( Fadda et al. 2008). In this study it was found in the cotton field in the heterogeneous area (n = 2), the cotton field in the homogeneous area (n = 1), the olive grove in the heterogeneous area (n = 57), the olive grove in the homogeneous area (n = 6), the wheat field in the heterogeneous area (n = 649) and the wheat field in the homogeneous area (n = 142).
