Marinarozelotes minutus (Crespo, 2010)

Distribution

Described in Crespo and Mendes (2010) from two localities in the District of Évora in cork oak forests. It was transferred to the genus Marinarozelotes Ponomarev (2020) by Ponomarev and Shmatko (2020). Its presence in Castro Verde, albeit in small numbers, represents an extension of its range (although it is still a Portuguese endemism) and of its habitat, which must now include the steppe-like grasslands of the District of Beja. The lack of information about the species prevented the assessment of its conservation status according to the IUCN criteria ( Branco et al. 2019).

Notes

4♂♂, 3♀♀, 2 jj.
