Silpha tyrolensis Laicharting, 1781 (Coleoptera: Silphidae), an unexpected addition to the Belgian fauna
Bulletin de la Société royale belge d'Entomologie / Bulletin van de Koninklijke Belgische Vereniging voor Entomologie, 156:173-177.
In the course of the Belgian Silphidae Project, four specimens of Silpha tyrolensis Laicharting,
1781 were encountered when studying the unidentified Silphidae in the entomological
collection of the Haute École Provinciale de Hainaut-Condorcet in Ath. These are the first
records of this species for Belgium and are from the period 1990–2010. Subsequent recent
trapping in the region where the specimens were found revealed no additional specimens. In
this paper the records are presented and the distribution of the species in Belgium and Europe
is mapped and discussed.
