Taxonomy.

H. Aspöck et al. (1991). A very conspicuous species (Fig. 5e, f View Figure 5 ), somewhat isolated within the subgenus Raphidia Raphidia s. str., it can hardly be confused with any other species of the family.

Biology and ecology.

Larvae (Fig. 5g View Figure 5 ) mainly soil-dwelling, but also corticolous: several findings of larvae and pupae under bark of Pyrus on the Omalos Plateau (1000-1100 m). Developmentone or two years. Last hibernating stage: full-grown larva. Adults: IV-VI. Euryoecus! In almost all habitats with coniferous or deciduous trees or bushes all over the island of Crete from sea level to (at least) 1550 m. Usually high population densities.

Records on Mediterranean islands

(Fig. 11a View Figure 11 ). Endemic to Crete. No records from elsewhere. Syntopic Raphidioptera : Phaeostigma (Aegeoraphidia) biroi , Phaeostigma (Superboraphidia) minois , Fibla (Reisserella) pasiphae .
