- Abstract
We present new records of Corticeus rufithorax Pic, 1903 from France, Greece and Spain. It is therefore rediscovered in Spain in 2021, the most recent observation dating from 1955, and in Greece in 2022, where it was only known from the type locality. Since 2019, the number of known localities of the species has increased from 6 to 16. Another very close morphologically species and with a similar ecology and geographical distribution, Corticeus fusciventris Reitter, 1884 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae), is observed for the first time in France, in Provence, in the Var department. This rare species was only known from the Balkans, Turkey and Cyprus. The autecology of C. rufithorax is detailed and an updated distribution map of this species is proposed.
