Eledonoprius serrifrons (Reitter, 1890)

Material examined: BRAGANÇA: Vimioso: Angueira valley, southwest of Castelo de Algoso (29 TQF0192 ), 16-06-2015, 1 ♀, on bracket fungi growing on Populus tremula L., Grosso-Silva & Rui Andrade leg., MHNC-UP collection (MHNCUP/ART/37623) .

Comments: The genus Eledonoprius Reitter, 1911 includes two rare and poorly known Western Palaearctic species that are both present in the Iberian Peninsula ( CARPANETO et al., 2013). In Iberia, Eledonoprius serrifrons was first recorded from the Spanish province of Badajoz ( CASTRO TOVAR et al., 2008) and subsequently from the provinces of Salamanca and Cáceres ( CARPANETO et al., 2013) and again from Salamanca ( RAMÍREZ-HERNÁNDEZ et al., 2015). The ten hitherto known localities of E. serrifrons (extending from Spain to Azerbaijan and Armenia) were compiled by SIVILOV & CVETKOVSKA-GORGIEVSKA (2014), to which a subsequent record from Ukraine must be added, which is currently the northernmost for the species ( DROGVALENKO, 2016).
