The species is probably very widespread in Europe (
Chandler 2013
) and has already been reported by
Pârvu (2003
,
2004a
) from
Romania
.
Stigmatomeria crassicornis
is, however, close to
S. obscura
(Winnertz, 1864)
, a species that had been for decades considered as a junior synonym of
S. crassicornis
(see
Kjaerandsen et al. 2007
,
Salmela and Kaunisto 2015
).
Pârvu (2003)
reported
2 females
from
Maramureș
Depression, and the sex of the specimen examined from Piatra Craiului National Park was not specified (
Pârvu 2004a
). Because Pârvu’s records may in principle also belong to
S. obscura
, the presence of
S. crassicornis
in
Romania
is verified herein. Larvae of the species may be associated with truffles (
Edwards 1925
,
Chandler 2010
), but
Jakovlev (2011)
reared the species from
Ascocoryne sarcoides
on birch log.
