Paracaloptenus bolivari Uvarov, 1942

Nutrition:
Grasses, herbs, carrion (dead insects)

Habitat:
Paracaloptenus bolivari inhabits stony or rocky embankments, nutrient-poor grasslands and stony pastures from about 1000 to 1600m above sea level. Important is the availability of open ground.

Life cycle:
Imagines occur from mid to late summer until well into October.

Endangerment factors:
Paracaloptenus bolivari is certainly locally endangered due to intensification and also succession after abandonment.

Remarks:
Paracaloptenus bolivari occurs only in northeastern mountainous Spain (southwards app. to Tarragona) and adjacent parts of the French eastern Pyrenees.
