34. CRYPTOCEPHALUS BILINEATUS (LINNAEUS, 1767) *

Examined material: In the research period was caught only once: Bagrationovsk district , 2 km NE Mamonovo, 54°49´52´´N 19°93´76´´E, 10.VII.2010 (1 ex., the dry meadow on the shore of the Kaliningrad gulf, leg. V. Alekseev) .

Comments: The precise locality from the former Eastern Prussia is known for the present-day northern Poland only ( Bercio & Folwaczny 1979). In accord with the catalogue of Silfverberg (2004), this species has been recorded from all Fennoscandian and Baltic territories. This transpalaearctic species feeds on various Asteracea particularly on Tanacetum spp.
