Anthocomus (Anthocomus) coccineus (Schaller, 1783)
MATERIAL EXAMINED: Estarreja: Salreu (29TNF30), 28-09-
2002 (1, Patrícia Soares-Vieira & Sónia Ferreira leg.), 01-02-2005
(1, Sónia Ferreira leg.).
COMMENTS: Second record for the country. The presence of
this species in Portugal was recorded by Plata & Santiago
(1990), based on a male specimen collected by Seabra on
the 28th of October 1933 in Mata de Leiria. The species was
considered rare by Plata & Santiago (1990), who regarded it
as being active in late summer (despite the fact that both the
Portuguese and Spanish material examined by these authors
had been collected in October). The new data here presented
points to an Autumn-Winter activity period of the adults.
