Anonconotus mercantouri Galvagni & Fontana, 2003

Habitat:
Anonconotus mercantouri inhabits Alpine grasslands and pastures with stones, rocky slopes with grassy vegetation, gappy dwarf shrub heathland and similar places between 1800 and supposedly 2500m.

Life cycle:
The adults appear between July and October. The quite small males are very agile.

Remarks:
Anonconotus mercantouri is endemic to the Maritime Alps and known so far only from the upper valley of the Vésubie (Refuge de la Madone de Fenestre, Lacs de Prals).

Hints on determination:
Small males, different titillators (short apical part etc.). In general appearance quite similar to A. pusillus.
