Ch: CAE; ERL: LC; P*-V*; %C: 19.42; ER: 1010-1970 m; Ph: VIII-XI

This species, ascribed to the ssp. ignifer in the study area, has been mainly observed at low elevations, being sometimes abundant in warm and dry montane meadows and subalpine grasslands. According to the available data, the specimen collected at 1970 m (Pian Caval-Costa La Charmo path, Pontechianale; 11/08/2019; DG) represents a new altitudinal record for C. mollis in Italy.
