Hypsosinga albovittata (Westring, 1851)

Distribution

Species widespread throughout the Palaearctic Zone. In the Iberian Peninsula, it has been reported for very scattered localities (also in Portugal), so it can be considered a common species. It has been previously cited from the District of Beja ( Cardoso et al. 2009). The literature tends to link it to sunny places in areas of low grass and close to the ground ( Nentwig et al. 2023). These characteristics coincide with those found in the study area, where it is one of the most abundant species.
