New species added to Portugal's checklist

Less than a week after the last addition, here's another new entry: the elusive Corambe testudinaria.

Although it had been previously recorded in Spain, in Galicia and in Western Andalusia, and was expected to occur in Portugal there were still no published records to confirm its presence. The small size and remarkable camouflage make it particularly difficult to spot so it's likely to have been missed up until now.
