Remarks. With the exception of specimens from France (Finistère), only two females were at present known: one from Spain (Ourense) and another from Portugal (Lameira) ( Borovec & Bahr 2008). The present discovery confirms the occurrence in Portugal and broadens our knowledge about the presence in the Iberian peninsula of this seldom collected species.
