Comments: Hydrochus ignicollis has been known as synonym of Hydrochus elongatus (Schaller, 1783) for a long time and this species was absent in the lists of beetles of Kaliningrad region (e.g. in Alekseev 2010a) or of the former East Prussia [Bercio & Folwaczny 1979). This is the first formal report of the species from Kaliningrad region. The species is probably native species with unknown distribution in Kaliningrad region.
