Description

53. HISPA ATRA LINNAEUS, 1767

Examined material: After recent publication (Alekseev & Nikitsky 2008), this sporadically distributed southern species was recorded from two localities: Bagrationovsk district, E suburb of Ladushkin, 54°33´8´´N 20°7´32´´E, 19.V.2009 (1 ex., sweeping on roadside, leg. V. Alekseev); Bagrationovsk district, near the railway station “ 1312 km ”, 54°33´10´´N 20°9´30´´E, 08.VI.2009 (1 ex., sweeping of a dry arable field near a mixed forest, leg. V. Alekseev), 07.VII.2009 (1 ex., dry arable field near mixed forest, leg. V.Alekseev).

Comments: This beetle lives at the northern periphery of its range in the Kaliningrad region and Lithuania. This species is known from the south of the Baltic and Fennoscandian region (Sweden, Denmark and Lithuania) (Silfverberg 2004), and also from West Belarus (Alexandrovitch et al. 1996). In the former East Prussia, it has been recorded only from the northern part of the Sambian peninsula (Georgenswalde, Warnicken) at the end of the 19 th century and on the territory of northern Poland (Bercio & Folwaczny 1979).
