Lithocharis ochracea (GRAVENHORST, 1802)

Paederus ochraceus GRAVENHORST, 1802: 59 .

Type material examined:see A SSING (2008).

Comment: The type material was studied and a lectotype was designated earlier (ASSING 2008). According to SCHÜLKE & SMETANA (2015), this species has a cosmopolitan distribution. However, so far I have seen material only from the West Palaearctic region eastwards to Kazakhstan. According to KLIMASZEWSKI et al. (2013) it is adventive in North America, but, to my knowledge, these records have not been subject to a recent revision. For records from the West Palaearctic region see ASSING (2008), for illustrations of the male sexual characters ASSING (2012a).
