Pilemia angusterufonotata, a rare species known only from South Greece and recently also from Albania [✧], has been described from Peloponnese (Greece) as Phytœcia (Pilemia) tigrina var. angusterufonotata by Maurice Pic in 1952 [✱]. This description was probably forgotten and the species was re-described by Carolus Holzschuh as Pilemia inarmata in 1984 [❖]. This name was recognized as synonym by Hüseyin Özdikmen and Semra Turgut in 2010 [✮].

Body length: 7.5 - 11.5 mm
Life cycle:1 year
Adults in:May - June
Host plant:oligophagous on Anchusa spp.

The depicted beetles were collected on their host plant (Anchusa) in Xerokambos (1900 m, Chelmos Mts., Peloponnese, South Greece).
