Bombus pratorum santonae (Tkalců, 1985) It spreads mainly in some mountain ranges of the Iberian Peninsula, between 600 and 2152 m (up to 3300 m outside the Pyrenees), in forest biotopes as well as in areas of scrubland, meadows, pastures, gardens, roadsides and even in steppe zones (Castro & Ornosa 1985; Ornosa & Ortiz-Sanchez 2004; Vargas et al. 2013). In the Pyrenees, it has been collected in forest biotopes and meadows of altitude between 1310 and 2152 m (Fig. 7), on Buglossoides arvensis (L.) I. M. Johns., Centaurea scabiosa L., Epilobium angustifolium L., Lathyrus pratensis L., Lotus corniculatus L., Onobrichis vicifolia Scop., Ranunculus pyrenaeus L., Rhododendron ferrugineus L., Silene acaulis (L.) Jacq., Trifolium pratense L., Trifolium repens L. and Vaccinium myrtillus L.

It was relatively common in the past (Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez ... : Published as part of Ornosa, Concepción, Torres, Félix & Rúa, Pilar De La, 2017, Updated list of bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) from the Spanish Pyrenees with notes on their decline and conservation status, pp. 41-77 in Zootaxa 4237 (1) on pages 58-59, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4237.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/322688 ...
