Uvarovitettix depressus (Brisout de Barneville, 1849)

Nutrition:
The species feeds on mosses, algae, lichens and dead plants. Presumably it rarely accepts also green plant parts.

Habitat:
Uvarovitettix depressus colonizes at least slightly damp spots in overall dry, hot rocky slopes like rivulets and water pressures.

Life cycle:
The adults overwinter and can be found in late summer/autumn and spring.

Endangerment factors:
Due to the decrease in suitable rocky slopes and natural screes, Uvarovitettix depressus is threatened primarily on its few outposts in Central Europe.

Remarks:
Uvarovitettix depressus has a Southern European distribution. To the north, it reaches very local southern parts of Central Europe, as Valais or (partly probably already extinct) South Tyrol. In the south it is also present in north Africa.
