* Omophlus (s. str.) lepturoides (Linnaeus, 1758)

Fig. 2 View FIGURE 1–10 .

Material. 2♀♀, Ettelbrück, VII.[1900], V . Ferrant lgt. ( MNHNL138415–16 ); 1♀, Goebelsmühle VII.[1900], V . Ferrant lgt. ( MNHNL138417 ) .

Note. Ferrant collected the only known specimens before World War I at two xerothermic sites of the Éislek and erroneously identified them as “ Omophlus tibialis ”, a junior synonym of O. picipes (Fabricius, 1792) . This thermophilic species, still present in Rhineland ( Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998), disappeared from Belgium before 2000s ( Thomaes et al. 2025). Only old data are available from Lorraine ( Godron 1863) and none from the Netherlands and Saarland ( Everts 1903, 1922; Lillig 2000). It has to be considered as extinct in Luxembourg.
