Ditomus tricuspidatus (FABRICIUS 1792)

G r e e c e:StereáEllas:EtolíaAkarnanía: Kilisura env., 5 km S Agrínio, 14.-15.V.2006, L. Kašpar leg. (13, cKAŠP). Kilisura env., 14 km N Messolóngi, 8.VI.2005, L. Kašpar leg. (13, cWR).

On various occasions recorded for Greece (amongst others PIOCHARD 1873: 55; VON OERTZEN 1886: 208; BEDEL 1897: 117). Contrary to that APFELBECK (1904: 173) stated that he had seen from different localities in Greece only D. calydonius (ROSSI) . From this reason, and by the fact that I did no see any specimen from Greece, the species was not recorded for that country in CATPAL 1: WRASE 2003: 365. Above findings confirm the occurrence in Greece.
