Margarinotus merdarius (Hoffmann, 1803)

Nearly all of Europe, northern Africa, Iran, and North America. Fairly rare in Poland, from mountainous regions noted in the Eastern and Western Sudetes and the Western Beskids (Burakowski et al. 1978). Caught in northern Italy in the 230-860 m altitude range (Penati 1997). Caught in the Western Beskids: Żywiec Beskids (Żabnica, 736 m a.s.l.).
