TENEBROIDES MAURITANICUS (LINNAEUS, 1758) Examined material: Recorded once: Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad Zoo, 54°42´45.9´´N 20°29´16.9´´E, 06.XII.2009 (1 ex., service building, in oat flakes together with the beetles Tenebrio molitor , Oryzaephilus surinamensis , Cryptolestes ferrugineus and the moth Tinea granella , leg. V. Alekseev).

Comments: This synanthropic species is widely distributed in the Baltic region and has been reported from all the Baltic and Fennoscandian States ( Silfverberg 2004). On the territory of the northern part of the former East Prussia, it has been reported from Königsberg [Kaliningrad] and Rominten [Krasnoles’e] ( Bercio & Folwaczny 1979). In this region, this predatory species occurs mostly in stored food products and very seldomly under the bark of deciduous trees, where it feeds on insects.
