Corticeus (s. str.) linearis (Fabricius, 1790)

Köhler 2013: 102.

Note. This species, a predator of pre-imaginal stages of Curculionidae Scolytinae on conifers, particularly Pityogenes bidentatus (Herbst, 1784) ( Soldati 2007) , is widespread across all adjacent regions ( Everts 1903; Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Soldati 2007; Thomaes et al. 2025). Data suggest a southward range contraction in Belgium ( Libbrecht 1988), while the species still appears to be abundant in Saarland ( Lillig 1999). In Luxembourg, records are available only from the Guttland, where the species is scarce and localized.
