Distribution. Europe. MADEIRA: reported from many localities from the coast up to mountain slopes ( Lindberg, 1941). PORTO SANTO: reported only from Serra de Dentro-Pico Juliana ( Lindberg, 1961).

Habitat. Wet shores of streams with rich vegetation ( Lindberg, 1961).

Remarks. Lindberg (1941) examined 15 specimens of Cicadula fasciifrons Stål from Wollaston’s collection, studied also by China (1938, p.46), and misidentified them as Macrosteles sexnotatus Fall. 1806 . Later, Lindberg (1961) stated that this material could belong either to M. ossianilssoni , to M. fascifrons or to M. ramosus (= quadricornis ). Because M. ossiannilssoni was very common in Madeira, Lindberg considered this material as probably M. ossiannilssoni . M. fascifrons is known from Scandinavia and Siberia; therefore, its presence in Madeira is unlikely. This record should be further confirmed.
