P. dechambrei is an endemic species, ranging at high elevations from the southwestern Alps to the northern Apennines ( Iorio et al. 2019). In the study area, the occurrence of this species ( ssp. dechambrei ) has been ascertained in a single locality (Le Conce, Pontechianale, 2420-2470 m; 05/08/2019; DG), where P. dechambrei proved to prefer alpine grassland habitats. According to the available data, the specimen observed at 2470 m represents an altitudinal record for this taxon in Italy.
