Also recorded from Pinus forest. In beechwood ( Fagus ) up to 1100 m in Slovenia ( Strasser 1940). Found on afforested

colliery spoil heaps with garden rubbish ( Decker & Hannig 2010). Common in gardens ( Schubart 1934). Synanthropic, particularly in the north. Common in gardens ( Schubart 1934).

Remarks

Thaler (1989) reported on a mass occurrence in Innsbruck, Austria. In the introduction to this volume we have indicated the ubiquity of U. foetidus in Central Europe and here we draw attention to the range shown on the map. The two imprecise records are from districts for which we have no precise record.
