Note. A saproxylic species, apparently in southward regression, whose exact distribution needs specialized research. The species, early identified as Mycetochara linearis (Illiger, 1794) , is widespread across all adjacent regions ( Géhin 1846; Fournel & Géhin 1847; Godron 1863; Everts 1903; Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Lillig 2000; Thomaes et al. 2025). In Saarland, it is not considered endangered ( Lillig 2000).
