( Fig. 3D )

EXAMINED MATERIAL. — Georgia • Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Tbilisi municipality, Telovani village ; 41°48’8”N, 44°40’33”E; 27.IV.2022; leg. R. Mishustin; slide #L00176; on the elytra of Anotylus sp. (i00140-1).

KNOWN DISTRIBUTION. — For a long time this fungus has been reported as Peyritschiella protea and the new combination has been established only recently ( Santamaría & Pedersen 2021). Therefore, old records lacking any illustration need to be confirmed. P. oxyteli is found on a few genera of rove beetles ( Staphylinidae ), especially on species of Oxytelus Gravenhorst, 1802 and Anotylus Thomson, 1859 .
