Köhler 2011a: 92, fig. 9b, 93, 130.

Material. Luxembourg, VI.[1900], V. Ferrant lgt. ( MNHNL 138432).

Note. Although the MNHNL holds only an old specimen, the saproxylic species is still present—albeit rare—in Luxembourg ( Köhler 2011a). Considered threatened in Saarland ( Lillig 2000) and rare in Lorraine ( Géhin 1846; Fournel & Géhin 1847; Godron, 1863), it is widespread across all adjacent regions ( Everts 1903, 1922; Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Lillig 2000; Troukens 2005; Thomaes et al. 2025).
