Clinopodes flavidus C.L. Koch, 1847 View in CoL

Material examined. MALTA: 1 ♂ (54 mm, 67 lp), unknown locality, 2020, leg. T. Cassar .

Distribution. Europe: Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, European Turkey, Germany, Greece (mainland, including North Aegean Is., Dodecanese Is., Cyclades Is., Crete), Hungary, Italy (mainland, including Sicily), Makedonia (FYR), Malta, Poland, Rep. of Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Ukraine, Yugoslavia.

Records of this species from Anatolia and the Caucasus deserve confirmation, as they were possibly based on C. escherichii Verhoeff,1896 or C. caucasicus (Selivanov, 1884) (cf. Bonato et al. 2011).

Chorotype. European.

Notes. Previously recorded by Zapparoli et al. (2004) from only one locality in Malta (Buskett). The present record confirms the occurrence of the species in the Maltese Islands, where it seems to be uncommon. The data associated with the material mentioned in this study for this species has been lost, but the record has been included in order to indicate that it is an established, albeit rare, species.
