Notes

The record from Piemonte was communicated to us by Christophe Praz. The Ligurian specimen was found in patrolling flight along a path in woodland. To our knowledge, these are only the third and fourth records of C. grande in Italy. The previous records are from Val di Fiemme in Trentino-Alto Adige/ Südtirol ( Cobelli 1903) and from the upper Val di Susa in Piemonte ( Westrich 1993). Images: Suppl. material 2, Figs. S3 and S4.
