Leptophyes laticauda (Frivaldszky, 1868)

L. laticauda has a scarce distribution in Serbia, mostly in areas in the eastern and western parts of the country with Mediterranean influence ( Fig. 1D ). They can be found on vegetation with wide leaves (e.g., bramble) in sunny places within forest edges or along the road.

The adults appear between July and September.
