Description
Habitus (Fig. 2A). Length: 5.5–6.0 mm. Antennae and palps almost entirely testaceous or yellow (base of the first antennomere and insertion points of the palpomeres slightly darkened). Anterior angles of the pronotum not or hardly protruding; lateral sulcus widened. Legs entirely testaceous. Median lobe of the aedeagus arcuate and narrowed progressively until the apex, which is well developed and spatulashaped (Fig. 3F). Among the sclerotised pieces that are found in the internal sac, the presence of a thick thorn directed to the dorsum should be noted, on which a helical scaly structure is superimposed.
Chorology
Species with a wide Palaearctic distribution, also present in the Afrotropical Region (Ratti 1983; Sauleda 1985; Bousquet 2017) and in the Canary Islands (Machado 1992).
Ibero-Balearic distribution (Fig. 4F): in the Iberian Peninsula, the species is widely present along the Atlantic coast of the meridional extreme, but also at some localities of the Mediterranean coast. Jeanne (1968) published a record from Las Hurdes (Cáceres, W Spain) that probably is incorrect as, according to the current chorological knowledge, it would represent a very isolated population. In the Balearic Islands P. gilvipes is present in Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza.
Biology
Sauleda (1985) indicates that this is an uncommon species which can be found in areas colonised by plants of Arthrocnemetea all year except winter. Some comments on the larvae of this species have been published: Machado (1992) suggested that, at coastal localities, the preimaginal stages of P. gilvipes could develop under the remains of marine algae deposited by the sea on rocky shorelines.
