Carpophilus hemipterus is a cosmopolitan species ( Jelínek & Audisio 2007) with Paleotropical origin, introduced in the Mediterranean probably in the Roman Age ( Jelínek et al. 2016). The species has been repeatedly reported from Bulgaria by various authors ( Tomov & Trencheva 2013) but is omitted for the country in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera ( Jelínek & Audisio 2007) .
