Material examined: PORTUGAL: Madeira: Faial , 32.793609°N, - 16.848819°W, 20 m, 7.IX.2019, 1 ex. (GenBank accession number OM 019322 View Materials ), C. Andújar leg., found in a soil sample near a beach GoogleMaps .
This species is native to Australia but has been introduced to New Zealand, the United States, Argentina, the United Kingdom, France, and Spain, including the Balearic and Canary archipelagos ( Álvarez-Presas et al. 2014; Breugelmans et al. 2012; Luis-Negrete et al. 2011; Suárez et al. 2018). Here we provide the first record from Madeira. Álvarez-Presas et al. (2014) found that C. coerulea was subdivided in three main clades. Our specimen from Madeira matches to a clade including sequences from Australia, Catalonia and the Canary Islands ( Spain) ( Figure 1B View FIGURE 1 ).
