European distribution: Albania (present paper), Austria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom ( Harvey 2013b).
Notes: Withius piger is recorded for the first time in Albania, the second-known country of its distribution in the Balkans. The species is considered to be synanthropic and is recorded mostly in warehouses, grain storages and farms, but sometimes also under tree bark (e.g., Beier 1963; Legg and Jones 1988; Tooren 2005). The obtained records correspond to the known habitat preferences of the species.
