(58) O. ovatus (Linnaeus, 1767) View in CoL

Lentz 1879; Bercio & Folwaczny 1979.

Kaliningrad Region: Gur. (Königsberg, Wilkie).

Comments: Widely but sporadically distributed in the Baltic region coprophagous species, the actual findings in the Kaliningrad Region are expected. Above mentioned old reports of the species could concern specimens of O. joannae Goljan. The species is more xerophilous than O. joannae according to Rössner (1992) and is known in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia ( Silfverberg 2010), Latvia ( Telnov 2004), north-western Poland (Byk 2012) and Lithuania ( Tamutis et al. 2011).
