(51). O. fulvus (Goeze, 1777)

Bercio & Folwaczny 1979 ( Oniticellus ).

Kaliningrad Region: Gur. (Königsberg).

Comments: The probable occurrence in the Kaliningrad Region and in Lithuania ( Tamutis et al. 2011) belongs to the northernmost localities of the species in Baltic region. The beetle is known in south-eastern Belarus (Alexandovitch & Pisanenko 1991) and Poland (e.g. Lentz 1879). The range of this coprophagous beetle reachs its northern limits around 53˚ north latitude ( Kabakov 2006), but it is recently reported from Moscow Region ( Nikitsky 2009). The actual presence of the species in the regional fauna is questionable and needs verification. The species is termophilous in Central Russia ( Nikitsky 2016).
