Lateral sulcus of the pronotum slightly widened. Legs testaceous. Median lobe of the aedeagus scarcely curved, with the apex little developed (Fig. 3G). Chorology Species widely distributed along the Palaearctic Region (Compte Sart 1968, Ratti 1983; Tamadouni & Arahou 2016; Bousquet 2017). Ibero-Balearic distribution (Fig. 5A): in the Iberian Peninsula, it is present along the southern Atlantic coast, in the meridional extreme, at some localities of the Mediterranean coast and in saline interior environments of Albacete (SE Spain). We examined collection material from the Sierra de las Nieves National Park (Málaga, SE Spain), a new record that could not been represented in the distribution map. In the Balearic Islands, it is known from Mallorca and Menorca. Biology There is few published information about the biology of this species. As in the case of P. riparius, Ratti (1994) suggested that, in some populations along the Adriatic coast, the different life phases of P. littoralis can overlap in the same year, so it cannot be exclusively considered an annual species.
