[ O. chrysomeloides (Schrank, 1781) ]

Comments: The species is commonly connected with large river valleys (Bunalski & Sienkiewicz 2012), and it is known in northern Poland ( Lentz 1879; Bercio & Folwaczny 1979; Byk et al. 2016) and Belarus (Alexandrovitch et al. 1996). The larvae probably feed on hypogeous fungi ( Byk et al. 2016). Its occurrence in local fauna (at the northern border of range) is possible: the nearest finding places are (Bercio & Folwaczny 1979) Lyck [now Ełk] and Allenstein [now Olsztyn], both in Warmian-Masurian region, northern Poland.
