KNOWN DISTRIBUTION. — For a long time this fungus has been reported as Peyritschiella protea and the new combination has been established only recently (Santamaría & Pedersen 2021). Therefore, old records lacking any illustration need to be confirmed. P. oxyteli is found on a few genera of rove beetles ( Staphylinidae), especially on species of Oxytelus Gravenhorst, 1802 and Anotylus Thomson, 1859 .
