25. MONOTOMA View in CoL PICIPES HERBST, 1793

Examined material: Recorded once from a light-trap on the Curonian Spit: 23 km NNE Zelenogradsk, 55°5´21.6´´N 20°43´41.7´´E, 15.VII.2009 (1 ex., pine forest, leg. A. P. Shapoval). Comments: This species is widely but sporadically distributed in the whole Baltic and Fennoscandian region ( Silfverberg 2004), and it has also been recorded from Belarus ( Alexandrovitch et al. 1996). The species is considered to be rare in Lithuania ( Ferenca et al. 2006). On the territory of the northern part of the former East Prussia, it has been recorded from Cranz [Zelenogradsk], in the northern part of the Sambian peninsula, Fischhausen [Primorsk] and Insterburg [Chernyakhovsk] ( Bercio & Folwaczny 1979). The species inhabits rotting vegetable matter and is a detritus feeder.
