Bombus lapidarius lapidarius
(Linnaeus, 1758)
It is distributed throughout the northern third of the Iberian Peninsula, between 350 and
1840 m
. Individuals with the purest coloring tend to occur in high altitude and further north, while further south and west, hybrids with the subspecies
decipiens
dominate (
Ornosa & Ortiz-Sanchez 2004
).
Currently, it has been collected in Pyrenean forestal and supraforestal temperate-oceanic grassland, with patches of subalpine scrub between 912 and
2175 m
(
