Stenobothrus bolivarii (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1876)

Habitat:
Stenobothrus bolivarii inhabits dry and warm garrigues, pastures and very open scrub (e.g. Genista) between about 700 and 1900m.

Life cycle:
The adults appear especially in summer (June to August or September). In mid-October I found only very few old females in sites where it is common in early July (Sierra de Gredos, 1600m). Stenobothrus festivus is often syntopical, especially in habitats with gappy vegetation.

Remarks:
Stenobothrus bolivarii is endemic to the Iberian peninsula where it occurs locally in some mountain ranges. The pink to reddish palpae (but sometimes only weakly visible, especially in some green females) are distinctive.
