Description

Agrothereutes abbreviatus (Fabricius, 1794)

Notes

One older record from Belgium below moss and one record from the Netherlands, where a female specimen was observed below the bark of a dead tree. There are no other indications from the ecology and phenology of the species (or genus) that hibernation could be likely. The individuals were probably searching for hosts or in a state of quiescence.

Status: Unverified.

Records: Belgium (1), the Netherlands (1).

Hibernacula: DT (1), M (1).

Sources: Anonymous (1909) [Spilocryptus pygoleucus Gr.], Verheyde and Quicke (2022).
