Eustrophus dermestoides Fabricius 1792

Description

E. dermestoides Fabricius, 1792

New records: None.

Earlier records. This species was noted for Lithuania in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera without definite date (Nikitsky 2008), but this record was not confirmed by actual faunistic data from the country (N. B. Niktsky personal comment), and quite possibly was based on old records from Kaliningrad region (former Estern Prussia) and western Latvia (former Kurland) mentioned by Bercio & Folwaczny (1979).

General distribution. This species has a discontinuous distribution in western and central Europe.

Notes. It is an endangered species in Finland (Rassi et al. 2015), is known from Estonia by a single, almost 130 years old record (Miländer 1994), extremely rare in Latvia (D. Telnov personal comment), and rare Kalinigrad region (Alekseev & Bukejs 2010), but relatively common in southern Poland (Kubisz et al., 2014).The larvae develop on Laetiporus sulphureu s and possibly on fruiting bodies of other arboreal fungi (Burakowski et al. 1987; Niktsky 1998). There are no actual faunal data of this species in Lithuania.
