Sammanfattning
Si rende noto il primo ritrovamento in Italia dell’Elateride violetto Limoniscus violaceus (P.W.J. Müller 1821) (Coleoptera Elateridae Denticollinae), un coleottero minacciato del Paleartico occidentale. La specie è stata trovata in Sicilia sulle Madonie e la famiglia Elateridae aumenta così a 258 specie in Italia (escluse le sottofamiglie Cebrioninae, Drilinae e Lissominae). Vengono descritte e discusse le circostanze relative alla sua scoperta in una cavità arborea insolitamente alta in relazione all’eccezionale diversità biologica dell’area di studio.
We report the endangered western Palaearctic violet click-beetle Limoniscus violaceus (P.W.J. Müller 1821) (Coleoptera Elateridae Denticollinae) for the first time from Italy, recording it from Sicily, thereby augmenting the known fauna of Elateridae in the country to 258 species (excluding the subfamilies Cebrioninae, Drilinae and Lissominae). The circumstances relating to its discovery in an unusually high tree hollow are described and discussed, in the context of the outstanding biological diversity present in the area where it occurs.
