Nutrition:
The animals should feed on deposits of the sea and other dead plant material.
Habitat:
Pseudomogoplistes vicentae inhabits the Atlantic coast. I observed animals in N-Portugal at a sandy beach on gravelly spots quite numerously. The animals rested during the day especially under stones in loose vegetation.
Life cycle:
I observed Adults, but especially nymphs in October 2013. Pseudomogoplistes vicentae in its stages is probably recordable year-round.
Endangerment factors:
Pseudomogoplistes vicentae does probably not tolerate mass tourism and coastal overbuilding.
Remarks:
Pseudomogoplistes vicentae occurs only very local and with vast interruptions on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, Portugal, France and S-England (with Channel Islands).
Hints on determination:
Normally the females have a comparatively long ovipositor. Thus the shown female individuals should be larvae.
