Campylomorphushomalisinus has been found on Mt. Lesima (Northern Apennines) and it is the first record for the Lombardy region. Campylomorphushomalisinus is a rare orophilous species: it has a discontinuous chorology that may have been caused by glaciers dynamics during the Pleistocene era. Little is known about the ecology of the species. This record and the expert-based investigation we performed determined that Campylomorphushomalisinus inhabits shrublands and grasslands, but may also occur in the forests. This survey includes the only record of Campylomorphushomalisinus foraging on flowers, a behavior that is not rare in the family Elateridae. We hypothesize that adults integrate their diet with flower resources according to a generalist strategy.
在莱西马山（北亚平宁山脉）发现了同型弯翅叩甲，这是伦巴第地区的首次记录。同型弯翅叩甲是一种稀有的山地物种：它具有间断的分布区，这可能是由更新世时期的冰川动态造成的。人们对该物种的生态学知之甚少。这一记录以及我们进行的基于专家的调查确定，同型弯翅叩甲栖息于灌木丛和草地，但也可能出现在森林中。本次调查包括同型弯翅叩甲在花朵上觅食的唯一记录，这种行为在叩甲科并不罕见。我们推测成虫根据泛化策略将花朵资源纳入其饮食中。
