Remarks. Lesteva l. longoelytrata is a West Palaearctic subspecies, distributed in Orkney Islands, Faroe Islands, Iceland and Britain Isles through North Africa, Europe, Caucasus, Turkey, Lebanon, Cyprus, Turkmenistan and Iran (Shavrin 2014), replaced by L. l. maura Erichson, 1840 in Corsica and Sardinia, and by L. l. cretica Lohse & Steel, 1961 in Crete (Zanetti 1987). The status of these subspecies requires confirmation. In North Africa L. l. longoelytrata is known from Morocco (Koch 1941, Coiffait 1973) and Algeria (Fauvel 1878, 1886, 1902). This species is very common in the Iberian Peninsula (Gamarra & Outerelo 2008) and known from both Portugal and Spain (Kiesenwetter 1851, Heyden 1870, Quedenfeldt 1884, Champion & Chapman 1905, Lindberg & Bernhauer 1931, Koch 1940, Jeannel & Jarrige 1949, Jarrige 1954, Lohse 1960, Outerelo et al. 1998, etc.).
