Remarks. Lesteva l. longoelytrata is a West Palaearctic subspecies, distributed in Orkney Islands, Faroe Islands, Iceland and Britain Isles through North Africa, Europe, Caucasus, Turkey, Lebanon, Cyprus, Turkmenistan and Iran ( Shavrin 2014), replaced by L. l. maura Erichson, 1840 in Corsica and Sardinia, and by L. l. cretica Lohse & Steel, 1961 in Crete ( Zanetti 1987). The status of these subspecies requires confirmation. In North Africa L. l. longoelytrata is known from Morocco ( Koch 1941, Coiffait 1973) and Algeria ( Fauvel 1878, 1886, 1902). This species is very common in the Iberian Peninsula ( Gamarra & Outerelo 2008) and known from both Portugal and Spain ( Kiesenwetter 1851, Heyden 1870, Quedenfeldt 1884, Champion & Chapman 1905, Lindberg & Bernhauer 1931, Koch 1940, Jeannel & Jarrige 1949, Jarrige 1954, Lohse 1960, Outerelo et al. 1998, etc.).
