Donacia fennica is a species of leaf beetles of the subfamily Donaciinae. It can be found in Iberian Peninsula and Western Siberia. [1]
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but only some of them are listed below. The precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research.
Donaciinae, aquatic leaf beetles, is a subfamily of the leaf beetle family Chrysomelidae, characterised by distinctly long antennae. They are found in mainly the Holarctic, with very few species in the southern hemisphere.
The Iberian Peninsula, also known as Iberia, is located in the southwest corner of Europe. The peninsula is principally divided between Spain and Portugal, comprising most of their territory. It also includes Andorra, small areas of France, and the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. With an area of approximately 596,740 square kilometres (230,400 sq mi)), it is both the second largest European peninsula by area, after the Scandinavian Peninsula, and by population, after the Balkan Peninsula.
