Material.

Crete; 1♀, Fournes-Meskla, 22.iv.2013.

A remarkable species because of its thelytoky, unusual in the Cephidae , and its mainly southern European distribution which extends north along the Atlantic coast to the French Department of the Manche ( Chevin 1993; as Hartigia albomaculata ), and possibly, at least historically, into southern England ( Liston and Prous 2014).
