Neumania (Neumania) uncinata Walter, 1927

Material examined.

Portugal, Faro • Monchique, Caldas de Monchique , 37.287°N, 8.554°W, 23 May 2023, leg. Ferreira & Turaccio, 1 ♀ (sequenced) . Porto • Vila do Conde, Rio Este , 41.378°N, 8.695°W, 15 m a.s.l., 7 Sep. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Cruz-Oliveira & Girão, 1 ♀ (sequenced) .

Remarks.

The sequenced specimens from Portugal keyed to N. uncinata following Gerecke et al. (2016), and cluster within two unique BINs ( BOLD: AFV 0253, BOLD: AFV 0269). The p - distance between Portuguese BINs and their closest neighbor, BOLD: AER 9267, which includes specimens of N. uncinata from Sardinia (see Pešić and Goldschmidt 2023), was estimated at 8.78 % and 13.14 %, respectively, indicating the need for taxonomic revision of N. uncinata complex from a wider geographical area.

Distribution.

Western Palaearctic. In Portugal known from Estremadura ( Lundblad 1956). Neumania atlantida Lundblad, 1962 , originally described from Madeira by Lundblad (1962), was synonymized by Pešić et al. (2007) with N. uncinata .
