Bulletin de la Société royale belge d'Entomologie / Bulletin van de Koninklijke Belgische Vereniging voor Entomologie, 156:193-200.
In September 2020 a specimen of the Corylophidae Arthrolips fasciata (Erichson, 1842) was
discovered in mushrooms on decaying beech in a garden in Sint-Denijs-Westrem. In October
2020 a second specimen of this species was discovered in Beisbroek Sint-Andries Bruges also
on decaying beech. These are the first records of the species in Belgium. Hence, we expect
more Belgian records of this species in the near future. A species list of the Corylophidae
known to occur in Belgium is given.
