Atractodes pusillus Förster, 1876 View in CoL

Just like the abovementioned species, A. pusillus has a shiny mesopleuron. In contrast to the species mentioned however, this species is really small. Our specimen had a body length of 3.5 mm. Furthermore, it is completely black, except for the (hind) femora and tibiae, which are red. This distinguishes it from for example A. pauxillus Förster, 1876 ( JUSSILA, 2001).

First report for the Netherlands; unreported in Belgium.
