Liechtenstein:Ruggell, 430 m, 8.viii.1988.

Distribution:Palaearctic ( Ozerov 2005).

Comments:Apparently the first record for Liechtenstein. This species is relatively large and can be collected on cow dung. Males are larger than females when raised under common laboratory conditions ( Rohner et al. 2016) but both sexes vary strongly in size when collected in the field. It is rarely recorded during spring and early summer but can occur in great numbers late in the season (pers. obs. P. T. Rohner).
