Introduction
During the period of the last seven years after publication of the Catalogue of
Lithuanian Coleoptera (Tamutis et al., 2011), 145 species of beetles have been found in
the country for the first time (Ferenca et al., 2011, 2013, 2016; Nagrockaitė et al., 2011;
Tamutis, 2012; Ivinskis et al., 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017; Monsevičius 2013; Tamutis &
Barševskis, 2014; Paukkunen et al., 2016, Lekoveckaitė et. al., 2017; Pacevičius, 2017).
Current paper presents information on 4 species new for the Lithuanian fauna and data
on new localities of 12 species of beetles insufficiently known in Lithuania.
Material and Methods
In this report we present data on 16 species of beetles (Coleoptera). Four species,
marked in the text with an asterisk (*): Ophonus rupicola (Carabidae), Reesa vespulae
(Dermestidae), Ochodaeus chrysomeloides (Ochodaeidae) and Myrmechixenus
vaporariorum (Tenebrionidae) are new for the Lithuanian fauna. One species: Cicindela
maritima (Carabidae), included in Lithuanian Red Data book, is marked in the text with
double asterisk (**).
Most of the insects were found under the bark of trees or in the dead wood, some
species were caught using light trap equipped with 500 W blended mercury light bulb
and pheromone trap baited with (R)-(+)-γ-decalactone. Several specimens of Emus hirtus
and Nalassus dermestoides were photographed by Nida Čyžauskienė, Lukas Jonaitis,
Žilvinas Pūtys, Aleksandras Naryškinas and Gintautas Steiblys. The pictures of these
species reffered in this paper, can be found at www.macrogamta.lt.
The majority of specimens were collected by the authors of this report: Romas
Ferenca (R.F.), Vytautas Tamutis (V.T.), Vytautas Inokaitis (V.I.) and Kazimieras
Martinaitis (K.M.) during the field investigations. Some previously unpublished data of

Comments. This species is distributed mainly in North and Central Europe, to the
South reaching France, Germany and Croatia (Puchkov & Matalin, 2003; Vigna
Taglianti, 2013). This tiger beetle prefers sand beaches and sea shores with sufficient
sand surface moisture (Irmler, 2010). C. maritima is extremely endangered in the

dry open areas, covered with poor vegetation.

Kočárek, 2000). This species occurs in natural pastures, mainly on cattle excrement,
where it feeds on the larvae of coprophagous insects, especialy Coleoptera and
Diptera (Kočárek, 2000). As a result of the restriction of natural pasturage, this
species started to decrease in many countries of Europe.

Recently it was found in neighboring countries – Latvia, Estonia (Silfverberg, 2010),
Poland (Bunalski & Przewozny, 2009). This North American species was described
as Perimegatoma vesuplae Milliron, 1939 from Minesota state of the USA. In 1967
R. S. Beal transferred this species to a new genus Reesa. In Europe this skin beetle
has been recorded for the first time in the beginning of seventies (Bunalski &

inhabits old hollow trees. Larvae of E. ferrugineus consume larvae of other
saproxylic beetles, especially Osmoderma eremita (Svensson et al., 2004). This
species was previously known only from Kaunas Ąžuolynas park (Meržijevskis &

It occurs mostly on pines in dry places under the bark of dead trees, in rotting moldy
dry branches, in rotting stumps, in humus and under moss flakes near tree trunks and
on inflorescences of pines. Occasionally can by found in dry wood and branches of
rotten deciduous trees (Burakowski et al., 1987).

Notes. This relict European species is distributed in southern and Central Europe
from Italy and Greece northwards to Baltic countries (Fattorini, 2013). It inhabits
sunny forests and warm sunny outskirts of forests, old parks, gardens and avenues.
This species occurs in old deciduous trees, especially oaks, where it lives in hollows
or under rotten bark in dead moldy wood.
Palorus depressus (Fabricius, 1790)
Juškinės Miškas f., 26.04.2015, 4 spec. (R.F.).
Notes. This species is widespread in the Palearctics (Löbl et al., 2008). In Europe it
occurrs from the Mediterranean countries, northwards to the southern provinces of
Fennoscandia and Karelia (Fattorini, 2013). Under natural conditions it occurs under
rotten bark and decaying wood, mainly deciduous trees; in old oaks it was found in
red-rotten wood, sometimes also in spruces. Probably from these natural habitats this
species has moved to human buildings where it can be found on the old bread and
cereal product stocks. The species was also reported as a storage pest (Hagstrum &
Subramanyam, 2009).
Phylan gibbus (Fabricius, 1775)

Notes. This halophylous species is widely distributed in Europe (Löbl et al., 2008). It
inhabits sea coasts in the western part of Europe, southern Scandinavia and the
southern coasts of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. In Lithuania certain sites of this
species are only in coastal areas of the Baltic sea. It inhabits dry sandy soils, mainly
on coastal dunes. It is a nocturnal beetle, it appears on the surface at dusk and at
night. Larvae feed among plant debris covered with sand (Burakowski et al., 1987).

LIETUVOS ENTOMOLOGŲ DRAUGIJOS DARBAI. 2 (30) tomas 23
al. 1987; Löbl et al., 2008). This species inhabits rotten, moldy wood also it can be
found under the bark of fallen trunks and branches lying on the ground, under fallen
foliage, humus, mosses around the lying dead wood. Also it can be found on the dead
branches of still living trees.
Tribolium madens (Charpentier, 1825)
Gojaus Miškas f., 2009.04.16, 1 spec. (R.F.).
Notes. This species is distributed mainly in central and south-eastern part of Europe,
also it is known from North Africa, Caucasus, Siberia and North America (Löbl et
al., 2008; Burakowski et al. 1987). Occurs both in natural conditions and in human
buildings. Found in old, dry, rotten wood and under the bark of dead deciduous trees,
in farm buildings: old barns, stables, where it feeds on dry plant waste, grain and its
products.

Duomenys apie naujas ir mažai ištirtas Lietuvos faunos vabalų (Insecta:
Coleoptera) rūšis
R. FERENCA, V. TAMUTIS, V. INOKAITIS, K. MARTINAITIS
Santrauka
Pateikiami duomenys apie 16 vabalų rūšių, iš kurių 4 - O. rupicola, O.
chrysomeloides, R. vespulae ir M. vaporariorum - naujos Lietuvos faunai. Kailiavabalis
R. vespulae kilęs iš Šiaurės Amerikos, septintajame praėjusio amžiaus dešimtmetyje
pateko į Europą ir šiuo metu jau randamas daugelyje šalių. Likusios 12 rūšių mažai
ištirtos, lokalios. Halofilinės rūšys C. maritima ir P. gibbus Lietuvoje randamos tik
Baltijos pajūryje. Rūšys E. hirtus ir C. lunaris aptinkamos ganyklose stambių raguočių ir
arklių ekskrementuose, pastaraisais dešimtmečiais dėl mažėjančio laisvai ganomų
gyvulių skaičiaus šios rūšys Lietuvoje tampa vis retesnės. E. ferrugineus – senų brandžių
lapuočių medynų rūšis, gyvenanti senuose drevėtuose medžiuose, iki šiol ši rūšis rasta
tik Kaune ir Raudondvaryje. Taip pat pateikiama informacija apie juodvabalių: A.
bifasciatus, M. subterraneus, N. dermestoides, N. picipes, P. depressus, S. metallica ir T.
madens. radvietes. Dėl slapto gyvenimo būdo šias rūšis sunku aptikti, šios rūšys
Lietuvoje laikomos retomis, mažai ištirtomis.
