Pterolepis pedata (Costa, 1882)

Habitat:
Pterolepis pedata inhabits higher-growing parts of coastal dunes or other coastal habitats with a mosaic of densely and sparsely vegetated parts. I recorded the largest densities in only a few squaremeters large dense grassy or dwarf shrub stands in open dunes.

Life cycle:
Pterolepis pedata occurs in summer and autumn and can be easily flushed out of the vegetation.

Remarks:
Pterolepis pedata is endemic to the coastal regions of Sardinia and often quite common.
