The small sample sizes precluded any deeper inference and an analysis of dietary differences between islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. The threatened situation of these populations discouraged the capture of additional specimens. In the Balearic Islands, dietary differences were observed between the two endemic species studied. Podareis pityusensis has a diet dominated by ants and beetles (table 5). Coleóptera is also the most important prey type by volume (figure 3). Some diffe- rences were also found between islets and the main islands of Eivissa and Tormen- tera. The diet of Podareis lilfordi seems to be more uniform than of P pityusensis, and mainly based on clumped prey such as Formicidae, Homoptera, and Coleóptera, the vast majority of them from the family Curculionidae. But in some very small islets ( Porros) we observed an acute euryphagy (tables 6 and 7). Podareis tiliguerta appears highly variable in its diet (table 8), as corresponding to the widespread distribution of sampling sites throughout the Corsica Island (see above). Finally, the terrestrial diet of Podareis hispaniea from Benidorm Island included a high proportion of ants and other Hymenoptera (table 8).. Please note that these images are e
