This species is distributed mainly in Central Europe, to the north reaching southern Norway and Sweden (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008; Konvička 2012). It is very rare in Poland (Kubisz et al. 2014), and is yet unknown from Latvia and Estonia.</p><p>Notes. This is the first actual record of this species in Lithuania. The larvae develop on dead twigs of various deciduous trees, such as Castanea, Corylus, Quercus, Malus, Robinia, and Acer (Burakowski et al. 1987; Burakowski 2004; Hansen &amp; Sagvolden 1995).</p><p>Genus Dircaea Fabricius, 1798</p><p>D. australis Fairmaire, 1856</p><p>New records.

Previously D. australis was regarded as distributed only in southwestern and southern parts of Europe (Fairmaire 1856; Burakowski &amp; Pollock 2003). However it was recorded in more recent papers also from southern Sweden (Lundberg &amp; Gustafsson 1995), Belarus (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008) and eastern Poland (Kubisz et al. 2014).</p><p>Notes. Two Lithuanian Dircaea specimens (males) were found under the bark of a dead deciduous tree, on 30 VI 2008, by Tadas Petrikas. We studied the morphological characters including structures of genitalia of the specimens and compared them with descriptions of D. quadriguttata (Paykull) and D. australis Fairmaire given by Seidlitz (1898), Kuhnt (1913), Kaszab (1969), Nikitsky (1992) and Burakowski &amp; Pollock (2003). We concluded that our specimens completely fit the description of D. australis, having a compact, almost round yellow spot in the anterior half and almost round (not transverse) yellow spot in posterior half of elytra (Fig. 2 a); incomplete lateral bead (indistinct anteriorly) on the pronotum (Fig. 2 b), characteristic shapes of aedeagus (Fig. 2 c), eighth, and ninth abdominal tergites, and sternites (Figs 2 d, e, f). Dircaea australis is regarded as a relict species associated with natural forest (Kaszab 1969; Schmidl &amp; Bussler 2004; Müller et al. 2005; Eckelt et al. 2018). Larvae develop in white-rotted wood of Fagus and Salix (Kaszab 1969; Kubisz et al. 2014).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A88781FFC7FFF4FF16D26BFC055F28	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The distribution range of this species is not completely known; it was previously regard- ed as the eastern part of Europe and Siberia (Burakowski &amp; Pollock 2003), including Japan and Far East (Nikitsky 1992). This species is additionally recorded from Croatia, France, Italia, the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera and Fauna Europaea data base (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008, Nikitsky 2013).

This is the first record of this species in Lithuania. This remarkable, rarely observed saproxylic species in Europe was just recently discovered in Poland (Marszak et al. 2018), and Estonia (Süda 2016). Morphologically and by its life style this species is quite similar to P. (P.) rufipes and in most cases is not easy distinguishable. The main diagnostic characters of this species are: incomplete lateral bead on the pronotum, very dense punctation of the upper surface of the body and dark appendages excluding palpomeres and 3 first antenomeres, which are commonly light brown or yellow (Kaszab 1969). Our specimen completely fits these characters and is depicted in Fig. 3). The larvae develop in dead wood of various deciduous trees, especially in Betula (Nikitsky 1992) .

This species is widely distributed in Europe, but still is not found in Norway, northern part of European Russia, Latvia, or Belarus (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008).</p><p>Notes. The earlier record of this species in Lithuania remains questionable; however, no voucher specimens collected in Lithuania have been found, and therefore we can not confirm the presence of this species in the Lithuanian fauna. In some European countries it is regarded as rare or endangered (Süda &amp; Timm 1998; Schmidl &amp; Bussler 2004, Ljundberg 2015; Alekseev &amp; Bukejs 2017). The larvae develop in white rot of deciduous trees (e.g. Carpi- nus, Fagus, Corylus, Alnus (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2010), and mainly in twigs lying on the ground (Burakowski et al. 1987).

This species is widely distributed in temperate and boreal forest zones of Palaearctic region (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008).</p><p>Notes. This species is regarded as extremely rare in Europe (Schmidl &amp; Bussler 2004; Kubisz 2004; Kubisz et al. 2014) and is included in the list of European Council Directive on the Conservation of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora as a priority species (Council of the European Union 2013). The larvae seem to be polyphagous, but in the southern part of this species’ distribution are most commonly found in Quercus and Fagus (Palm 1959; Kaszab 1969; Burakowski et al. 1987; Nikitsky 2002; Fuchs &amp; Bussler 2010). In the northern part of their range, larvae are usually found in Betula and Picea (Lundberg 1993; Ehnström &amp; Axelsson 2002; Pettersson et al. 2007; Gutowski &amp; Sućko 2009). Alnus, Acer, and Ulmus are also recorded host trees (Brustel &amp; Gouix 2012). Larvae inhabit white-rotted wood that is infected by fungi Trametes versicolor, Diplomitoporus lindbladi, while adults have been found on fruiting bodies of bracket fungi Fomes fomentarius, Piptoporus betulinus, Phellinus igniarius (Lundberg 1993; Gutowski &amp; Sućko 2009).</p><p>Tribe Orchesiini Mulsant, 1856</p><p>Genus Orchesia Latreille, 1807</p><p>Subgenus Clinocara C.

This species exhibits a discontinuous distribution in Europe, and has been recorded from Siberia, Kazachstan, Mongolia, China and Korea (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008).</p><p>Notes. Despite the wide distribution range of this species, its particular occurrence in the regions is poorly known, especially in European countries where this species is often confused with the morphologically similar O. micans . Both O. fusiformis and O. micans are European representatives of Orchesia s. str. subgenus, which are characterized by structure of the antennae (with distinctly wider three last segments) and eyes narrowly separated (Kaszab 1969). However, O. fusiformis has a distinctly narrower pronotum and longer last segment of maxillary palps than does O. micans (Nikitsky 1992) . We have recognised these differences among specimens of Orchesia collected in Lithuania (Figs 4 a, b, e, f). Additionally, we found that females of these species could be easily recognised by the shape of the fifth abdominal tergite (Figs 4 c, g) and structures of genitalia, especially by the shape of spicule of the seventh (last) sternite (Figs 4 d, h). Orchesia fusiformis is considered as common or not rare in Far East (Nikitsky 1992; Gusakov 2009) and European Russia (Nikitsky et al. 1996), while its occurrence in some central European countries is treated as very rare (Kaszab 1969; Kubisz et al. 2014; Konvička 2017). The larvae of this species were collected on fruiting bodies of Inonotus radiatus, Lenzites betulinus, Trametes hirsuta, T. ochracea, T. pubescens, T. versicolor (Nikitsky et al. 1996; Nikitsky &amp; Schigel 2004), and T. suaveolens (Konvička 2017) . Several adults of the species were trapped using flight interception traps established near stumps infected by Fomitopsis pinicola and Fomes fomentarius in Estonia (Süda 2016). This is the first record of the species in Lithuania.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A88781FFC8FFF8FF16D5D3FB795CE5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Vilnius district (Pileckis &amp; Monsevičius 1997; Ivinskis et al. 2009).</p><p>General distribution. This species is widely distributed in western and central Europe but unknown from Portugal, most Balkan countries and central and northern parts of European Russia (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008; Löbl &amp; Smetana 2011).</p><p>Notes. Zilora is represented by three species in Europe: Z. obscura, Z. ferruginea (Paykull, 1798) and Z. elon- gata J. R. Sahlberg, 1881 (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008) but only Z. obscura is listed for Lithuania in previous cata- logues and checklists (Pileckis &amp; Monsevičius 1997; Niktsky &amp; Pollock, 2008, Silfverberg 2010, Tamutis et al. 2011). According to the catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera and some checklists of beetles of neighbouring coun- tries, such Belarus and Latvia (Nikitsky &amp; Pollock 2008; Alexandrowitch et al. 1996; Telnov 2004) Z. ferruginea is known from those countries as well. Presumably this species could occur also in Lithuania.</p><p>The identification of these three Zilora species is difficult and some presumptions on their unclear taxonomic status were made recently by Kubisz et al. (2014). Indeed, the descriptions of these species are presented briefly in some keys and confined to some external characteristics, e.g. body coloration, curvature of the lateral pronotal margins, pronotal punctation, or angles between setae and the elytral surface (Kaszab 1969, Nikitsky 1992, Nikitsky &amp; Saito 2014). These characters, however, seem insufficient for trustworthy identification. During the study of Lithuanian Zilora specimens we found that characters previously given for identifications of these species are vari- able among our material. Furthermore, analysis of both male and female genitalia revealed only small differences among specimens which externally could be roughly attributed to Z. elongata, Z. obscura and Z. ferruginea using the characters mentioned above.</p><p>By examination of the shape of pronotum (curvature of lateral margins) and punctation of its disc we distinguished three “morphospecies” of Zilora among Lithuanian specimens: 1—lateral pronotal margins arcuate, with visible blunt angle in the middle, punctation more or less even on disc, spaces among punctures less than, or equal to the puncture diameters, body coloration brown, elytra somewhat darker (Figs 5 a; 6 a); 2—lateral pronotal margins arcuate, without visible angle in the middle, punctation more or less even on disc, spaces among punctures less than, or equal to the puncture diameters, body coloration uniformly brown or dark brown Figs 5 e; 6 d); 3—lateral pronotal margins unevenly arcuate, sides of pronotum are unevenly bended, before middle are straightly but weakly narrowed towards posterior angles, punctation uneven, sparser medially than laterally, spaces among punctures on disc greater than puncture diameters, body coloration reddish or light brown (Figs 5 i; 6 g). The specimens of the first morphospecies partially agree with descriptions of Z. elongata, while the specimens of the second and third morphospecies seem to agree completely with Z. obscura and to Z. ferruginea respectively, given by Nikitsky (1992) and Nikitsky &amp; Saito (2014). However, the punctation on the pronotal disc of specimens of morphospecies 1 is not as dense as shown by Nikitsky (1992) for Z. elongata; also, the sinuation of the lateral pronotal margins anterior of the hind angles is very weak or invisible. The shapes of abdominal tergite 5 in both males and females of these three morphospecies show some differences (Figs 5 b, f, j; 6 b, e, h), but the genitalic structure is very similar (Figs 5 c, d, g, h, k, l; 6 c, f, j). There is a distinct incurvation on the apex of tergite 5 of females of morphospecies 1 and 2, whereas the apex is smooth or slightly rounded in the third morphospecies. Tergite 5 of males of morphospecies 3 is slightly broader and more widely rounded apically compared with males of the first morphospecies. The spicule of sternite 7 of third morphospecies females is relatively shorter (2.1 times longer than width of sternite), than those of females of the first and second morphospecies, in which the spicule is 2.25 times longer than width of sternite. The body coloration of the first and second morphospecies is from dark brown to bright brown, while the specimens of the third morphospecies are colored bright brown to brown. Body length, measured from the anterior margin of the clypeus to the apex of elytra, is varied: specimens of the first morphospecies are 5.5–5.8 mm (males) and from 5.0–7.5 mm (females); the second morphospecies 6.0–6.5 mm (males) and 6.2–7.7 mm (females); the third morphospecies 4.7–6.3 mm (males) and 4.6–7.0 mm (females). Unfortunately, without study of the type material of these Zilora species it is impossible to prove that the characters mentioned above are typical for particular species or rather are merely intraspecific variation. Tentatively, according to differences in the shape and punctation of the pronotum as well as shape of tergite 5 and length of the spicule of sternite 7, we conclude that specimens of the third morphospecies have those differences more distinct in comparison with specimens of the first and second morphospecies. Consequently, the specimens of the third morphospecies can be attributed to Z. ferruginea . The differences between specimens of the first and second morphospecies are slight, especially comparing the shape of tergite 5 of males and females; we consider morphospecies 1 and 2 to represent intraspecific variation of Z. obscura . It is worthy to note that specimens of all morphospecies were often sampled together in the same sets of collected material.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A88781FFC9FFE2FF16D2BBFA565FFC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
