Coranus aegyptius
(Fabricius, 1775)
Coranus linnavuorii
Dispons, 1963 (unclear synonym; see note)
Note: the identity of Coranus linnavuorii is
unclear. It is generally considered as a synonym
of either the present species, or of Coranus
arenaceus (a species that does not occur in
Germany).
Identification
Distribution
Recorded from several European countries
including Germany. However, Putshkov
and Putshkov 1996 suggest that all European
records are in fact misidentifications. They
suggest that all records from Europe, the Caucasus
region and Asia minor are in fact Coranus griseus.
Thus, special care must be take when identifying
these species in European material.
