Clytra quadripunctata quadripunctata (Linnaeus, 1758)

Material examined

GREECE: 1 ♂, East Macedonia and Thrace, Xanthi, Petrochori, 12 May 2001, J. Schneider leg. ( NMPC).

Distribution

Widely distributed in Palaearctic Region ( Regalin & Medvedev 2010b). Confirmed occurrence in Greece.

Comments

Regalin & Medvedev (2010b) listed Clytra quadripunctata quadripunctata from Greece probably based on the specimens of Clytra appendicina Lacordaire, 1848 published by Rozner & Rozner (2008, 2014). Clytra appendicina is often treated as a synonym of Clytra quadripunctata quadripunctata but also as its subspecies or as valid species. The above mentioned specimen confirms the occurrence of true Clytra quadripunctata quadripunctata in Greece.
