GENERAL DISTRIBUTION. It occurs in the southwestern part of Europe, in Portugal and Spain and extends its distribution range to northern and eastern Mediterranean [Nast, 1972; Boulard, 1995a, b; Gogala, 1998, 2002]; L. plebejus was recorded also for SE Azerbaijan [Tishechkin, 2003] but Simões and Quartau [2013] and Gogala and Trilar [2014] stated that from east Aegean L. plebejus is replaced by the related L. gemellus Boulard, 1988 . Further research it is therefore necessary to shed light on the exact distribution of these two species (cf. also with the range of L. plebejus provided by Kudryashova [1979]).

REMARKS. The species occurs mainly in closed high shrubland and woodland on different plants, like olive trees, pine trees, oaks, as well as on fruit trees [Sueur et al., 2004; Drosopoulos et al., 2005; Simões et al., 2013].
