Scaphisoma boleti , formerly Scaphosoma b. is a beetle from the subfamily of the boat beetle (Scaphidiinae).
features
The beetles reach a body length of two millimeters. The suture strip of the cover wing runs differently than that of the mushroom barge beetle ( Scaphisoma agaricinum ) up to the pronotum and bends outward in front of the base, only to stop at about half of the base. The fourth link of the antennae is almost as long as the fifth. The wings are light brown-red or reddish-brown in color and are moderately finely dotted. The color becomes lighter towards the tip, sometimes a darker shadow can also be seen there.
Occurrence and way of life
The species is common in Europe and the Caucasus . The northern distribution extends to the middle of Sweden and the south of Finland, the southern border extends to central France and Avignon and the center of Italy ( Latium ) and Romania. The animals are everywhere in Central Europe, but only sporadically. They are rare, more common in southern Germany and Austria.
