On Bibloporus minutus Raffray, 1914 (Col. Staphylinidae Pselaphinae) DENMARK – Lolland, Falster, Møn (LFM) • Løgnor; 54°46.987′ N, 11°48.999′ E; PF87; 16 Dec. 2014; K.B. Nielsen 81; JP det.; ZMUC C-F-122556 .

Remarks

First record from Denmark. Related to Bordea strangulata (Thaxt.) R.K.Benj. which occurs on Euconnus - like beetles (Col. Staphylinidae Scydmaeninae) from Guatemala (Benjamin 2001). Constriction of cell VI is present in both species, although it is different. The Danish record is the first for this species after its original description. A photo of this species is given here for the first time.
