Earlier records. This species was found in Kaunas district ( Ferenca 2004; Ferenca et al. 2006) (KZM).

General distribution. This species is widely distributed in Europe, but still is not found in Finland, and the northern part of European Russia ( Nikitsky & Pollock 2008).

Notes. Though this species is relatively common in Lithuania, it has not been found in most districts. In some European countries it is regarded as a rare or endangered species ( Süda & Timm 1998; Schmidl & Bussler 2004, Ljundberg 2015). The larvae develop in decaying, wet wood of deciduous trees, mainly in Quercus ( Burakowski et al. 1987; Kubisz et al. 2014).

Earlier records. This species was recorded from northwestern and central Lithuania, without definite date ( Pileckis & Monsevičius 1997), and also from Kaišiadorys district without definite date ( Šablevičius 2000). Actual faunistic information is given on the occurrence of this species in Joniškis ( Butvila et al. 2007), Vilnius ( Ivinskis et al. 2004), Prienai and Trakai ( Ivinskis et al. 2009) districts.

General distribution. This species is widely distributed in the Palaearctic temperate forest zone ( Nikitsky & Pollock 2008).

Notes. This species is relatively common in Lithuania, but still not found in most districts. In some European countries it is regarded as a rare or endangered species ( Schmidl & Bussler 2004; Nitu 2008). The larvae inhabit rotten wood of deciduous trees, mostly Corylus , Fagus , Betula , Alnus ( Nikitsky 1985; Burakowski et al. 1987; Kubisz et al. 2014).

New records. Kaiš: Pravieniškės, 28 V 1992, leg. A. M., 1³, AMC; Šak: Tervydoniai, 12 V 2018, 27 V 2018, leg. R. Ferenca 1♀, 1♀, KZM .

Earlier records. This species was found in Kaunas district ( Tamutis et al. 2008; Inokaitis 2009) (KZM).

General distribution. This species is known throughout the Palaearctic temperate forest zone ( Nikitsky & Pollock 2008), but has a discontinuous distribution.

Notes. This species is insufficiently known in Lithuania and seems to be very rare. It is widely regarded as a rare saproxylic species, and a relict of primeval forests ( Kaszab 1969; Burakowski et al. 1987; Nikitsky 1988, 1992; Pawłowski et al. 2002; Roosileht & Miländer 2003; Alekseev & Nikitsky 2008; Vavra 2012; Kubisz et al. 2014). The larvae develop in rotten wood of various deciduous trees, especially Betula and Corylus infected by Schizopora paradoxa fungus ( Nikitsky 2002).
