Our record represents the first finding of Rhinoecius brikinboricus in Western Europe. Hitherto, R. brikinboricus has been reported from Canada and Russia. It is closely related to R. oti Cooreman, 1946 , which is known from Asio otus from Belgium. According to Butenko (1984), R. brikinboricus can be distinguished from R. oti by the bell-shaped podosomal shield, its greater length, and the location of setae j6 on the surface of the podosomal shield.
