Corticeus linearis

Corticeus (s. str.) linearis (Fabricius, 1790) Köhler 2013: 102. Note. This species, a predator of pre-imaginal stages of Curculionidae Scolytinae on conifers, particularly Pityogenes bidentatus (Herbst, 1784) (Soldati 2007), is widespread across all adjacent regions (Everts 1903; Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Soldati 2007; Thomaes et al. 2025). Data suggest a southward range contraction in Belgium (Libbrecht 1988), while the species still appears to be abundant in Saarland (Lillig 1999). In Luxembourg, records are available only from the Guttland, where the species is scarce and localized.
