Comments: The independent status of the species Rh. germanus (Linnaeus, 1767) and R. puncticollis Brown was recently validated by Rössner (2012). The species is known ( Byk 2014) in Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Latvia and Poland at present. All collected in the Kaliningrad Region specimens of the genus belongs to this species. It is very probable, all old reports of Rh. germanus (L.) from Eastern Prussia (based on the not available for the author materials) concern R. puncticollis Brown too. Therefore, the species Rh. germanus (L.) has been removed from the species list and the data concerning its distribution was used for R. puncticollis Brown. Locally distributed and rare species in the Region.
