Abstract

In 2021, numerous observations of Ptilophorus dufourii (Latreille, 1818) were made by the author, providing new information about the species’ biology. The oviposition of the female was observed and is described in this article for the first time. Several other biological observations were made and are discussed in relation to the bibliography. The species’ distribution in France is also provided, based on numerous data from various sources. These new observations may favour future ones, to finally understand the whole development cycle of Ptilophorus dufourii which, until now, remains poorly known.
