| Description | New distributional data on the rare and endangered saproxylic beetle, Peltis grossa (Linnaeus, 1758), and its Eastern vicariant Peltis gigantea (Reitter, 1882) are provided. Peltis grossa is recorded from 21 European countries, with first or first exact records provided for Asian Turkey, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro. In contrast, the species is known only in the form of subfossil remains in Great Britain, while there are no records from Hungary and Belgium, contrary to information contained in Fauna Europaea. Peltis gigantea is recorded from Kazakhstan for the first time. |
