Taxonomy.

H. Aspöck et al. (1991). A very characteristic species (Fig. 6c, d View Figure 6 ) and the only representative of the family on the Tyrrhenian islands and in Sicily.

Biology and ecology.

Larvae (Fig. 6e View Figure 6 ) exclusively corticolous, mainly on Pinus , but often also on deciduous trees ( Amygdalus , Quercus ). Preferred biotopes: Light pine and oak forests, but also in wild fruit gardens. Records from 150-1600 m; probably also occurring at sea level.

Records on Mediterranean islands

(Fig. 11b View Figure 11 ). Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily. Syntopic occurrence with other Raphidioptera : Xanthostigma corsica (Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily), Xanthostigma aloysiana (Sardinia), Subilla confinis (Sicily), Subilla principiae (Sardinia). Development: Three or more years. Last hibernating stage: full-grown larva. Adults: IV-VI.

Continental distribution.

Apennine Peninsula, probably introduced from Sardinia with cork; old and recent records in Calabria need confirmation ( Pantaleoni et al. 2019).

Biogeography.

Polycentric (?) stationary Tyrrhenian-(Adriatomediterranean?) faunal element.
