30-5-2024 MONTE CORONA, VALENCIA - FALSE BLISTER BEETLE (Oedemera marmorata)

The very rare beetle Oedemera ( Oncomera ) marmorata (Erichson, 1841), for which there are few references.

This beetle is an oedemeridae ( Oedemeridae ) with a Palearctic distribution. The chorological aspects are quite unknown due to the scarcity of citations. Its distribution is western-Mediterranean, perhaps of Betic-Rifian origin, spread through Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and the south of the Iberian Peninsula. It is a species with twilight and nocturnal habits, which is attracted by light and frequents the flowers of trees and bushes.
