Earlier records. This species was found in Kaunas district ( Ferenca 2004 ; Ferenca et al . 2006 ) (KZM). General distribution. This species is widely distributed in Europe, but still is not found in Finland , and the northern part of European Russia ( Nikitsky & Pollock 2008 ). Notes. Though this species is relatively common in Lithuania , it has not been found in most districts. In some European countries it is regarded as a rare or endangered species ( Süda & Timm 1998 ; Schmidl & Bussler 2004 , Ljundberg 2015). The larvae develop in decaying, wet wood of deciduous trees, mainly in Quercus ( Burakowski et al . 1987 ; Kubisz et al . 2014 ).

This species was recorded from northwestern and central Lithuania , without definite date ( Pileckis & Monsevičius 1997 ), and also from Kaišiadorys district without definite date ( Šablevičius 2000 ). Actual faunistic information is given on the occurrence of this species in Joniškis ( Butvila et al . 2007 ), Vilnius ( Ivinskis et al . 2004 ), Prienai and Trakai ( Ivinskis et al . 2009 ) districts. General distribution. This species is widely distributed in the Palaearctic temperate forest zone ( Nikitsky & Pollock 2008 ). Notes. This species is relatively common in Lithuania , but still not found in most districts. In some European countries it is regarded as a rare or endangered species ( Schmidl & Bussler 2004 ; Nitu 2008 ). The larvae inhabit rotten wood of deciduous trees, mostly Corylus , Fagus , Betula , Alnus ( Nikitsky 1985 ; Burakowski et al . 1987 ; Kubisz et al . 2014 ). Genus Phryganophilus C. R.

General distribution. This species is known throughout the Palaearctic temperate forest zone ( Nikitsky & Pollock 2008 ), but has a discontinuous distribution. Notes. This species is insufficiently known in Lithuania and seems to be very rare. It is widely regarded as a rare saproxylic species, and a relict of primeval forests ( Kaszab 1969 ; Burakowski et al . 1987 ; Nikitsky 1988 , 1992 ; Pawłowski et al . 2002 ; Roosileht & Miländer 2003 ; Alekseev & Nikitsky 2008 ; Vavra 2012 ; Kubisz et al . 2014 ). The larvae develop in rotten wood of various deciduous trees, especially Betula and Corylus infected by Schizopora paradoxa fungus ( Nikitsky 2002 ).
