		Ophrys gracilis (BÜEL, O.DANESCH & E.DANESCH) ENGLMAIER

Fam.: Orchidaceae / Orchid Family

Genus: Ophrys L.

Ophrys gracilis has been described from the South-Western Italian Province of Salerno.
Remy Souche counts in his book 'Les Orchidées sauvages de France' (2004) also the Late Spider Orchid of the Drome and surrounding departments to this species, I don't share this opinion. According to other French sources these are called Ophrys fuciflora subsp. demangei since 2015, recombined to Ophrys demangei by P. Delforge in the same year.
