32. PHYTOECIA NIGRICORNIS (FABRICIUS, 1781) View in CoL

Examined material: Recorded twice: 1 km E Chernyakhovsk , 54°38´49.1´´N 21°53´4´´E, 14.VI.2010 (2 exx, dry meadow at the bank of the Angrapa River , leg. V. Alekseev); Zelenogradsk district, 3 km N Grachevka GoogleMaps , 54°91´17´´N

20°13´33.7´´E, 6.VI.2010 (1 ex., sweeping at the edge of the mixed forest, leg. V. Alekseev) .

Comments: The species is mentioned for all Baltic and Fennoscandian territories except Norway and Denmark ( Silfverberg 2004). The previous faunal data on this beetle on the territory of the northern part of the former East Prussia and the Kaliningrad region was given earlier ( Alekseev 2007). To all evidence, the species is not restricted to the dry coastal meadows of Baltic seasides (as it was supposed earlier) and is wider distributed in the Kaliningrad region.
