Bledius talpa is a beetle from the family of the short-winged (Staphylinidae).
features
The beetles reach a length of 4.5 millimeters and have a black body color. The posterior angle of the pronotum is small and rectangular, with the side in front being visibly flared. The pronotum is matt and shagreened and has a very fine, somewhat recessed center line along it. The bluish-colored wings are equally long as together wide.
Occurrence and way of life
The species occurs in Northern Europe and in Eastern Central Europe. You can find them in Norway, Finland, Sweden and the north of Russia, the Baltic states as well as in Germany and Poland on the Baltic Sea, in the mountains in eastern Germany and also in Baden-Württemberg. In Austria she is known from Tyrol, Salzburg and Styria. Because the species is absent in areas south of Denmark and only appears again in the Alpine region, a boreomontane distribution is to be considered, but it also occurs in southern Sweden (e.g. Scania ) and in Denmark in Jutland . The species colonizes fine and coarse sand banks of rivers and lakes in bare places. There she lives in dug corridors in the fine vegetation of cryptogams .
