437. Ommatoiulus cingulatus (Attems, 1927)

Archiulus cingulatus Attems, 1927 .

Schizophyllum cingulatum auct.

Distribution

PT-POR (South).

Habitat

One site was a heath with Calluna, Erica, Ulex, Rosmarinus, Cistus and grasses. Bailey & De Mendonça (1990) mostly found it in grassland, but also in Cistus litter.

Remarks

Attems gave “Peisha” as the locus typicus of this species. This presumably should be the town of Beja in the old province of Baixo Alentejo. It has subsequently been found in Setubal and Faro Provinces on either side of Beja.
