Abstract: Neumania (Neumania) elliptica Walter, 1925 Material examined. Portugal, Guarda: • Manteigas, Poço do Inferno, 40.373°N, 7.516°W, 1078 m a.s.l., 21 Aug. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco & Padilha, 1 ♂ (sequenced); • Seia, Rio Alva, Nossa Senhora do Desterro, river, 40.395°N, 7.694°W, 791 m a.s.l., 23 Aug. 2023, leg. Ferreira, Benitez-Bosco & Padilha, 1 ♀ (sequenced). Remarks. The specimens from Portugal morphologically match the description of N. elliptica. This species was originally described from Algeria (Walter 1925) and later on reported by Pešić et al. (2007) from Corsica (France) and Italy (Sardinia and Sicily). Neumania elliptica is a characteristic colonizer of pools in summer-warm lowland streams with silty substrate (Pešić et al. 2007). The sequenced specimens from Portugal form a unique BIN (BOLD: AFU 2122), with the nearest neighboring BIN being BOLD: ACR 9513 (p - distance 19.16 %), which includes specimens of N. deltoides from the Netherlands, Macedonia and Turkey, available in BOLD. Distribution. SW-Mediterranean. New for Portugal.
