Note. Sometimes identified as Isomira semiflava (Küster, 1852) , the species is widespread in Luxembourg and neighboring regions ( Géhin 1846; Fournel & Géhin 1847; Godron 1863; Everts 1903; Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Lillig 2000; Thomaes et al. 2025). In Saarland, it is not considered endangered ( Lillig 2000). Ferrant identified one specimen as “ Hymenalia rufipes F.”, a species still not recorded from Luxembourg but present in the neighboring regions, except for Saarland ( Géhin 1846; Fournel & Géhin 1847; Godron 1863; Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Lillig 2000; Thomaes et al. 2025).
