Anonconotus italoaustriacus Nadig, 1987

Habitat:
Anonconotus italoaustriacus inhabits Alpine grasslands and pastures as well as gappy dwarf shrub heathland and similar places.

Life cycle:
Anonconotus italoaustriacus is usually found between late July and mid-October above 1800 and up to 2700m. The density is usually low.

Remarks:
Anonconotus italoaustriacus occurs from Eastern South Tyrol (Alto Adige) across Eastern Tyrol to small parts of Carinthia (Hohe Tauern) and Salzburg (Lungau). An isolated population on Monte Baldo (Lake Garda) is obviously already extinct. Smaller populations are furthermore known from the northern Veneto.

Anonconotus italoaustriacus is very closely related with A. alpinus and can also be regarded as subspecies, as Nadig did in his original description.
