2024 (1) - Pages 1-12By compiling data from literature or collections and recent original observations (10 new departments) we provide a better understanding of the French range of Peltis ferruginea (Linnaeus, 1758), a rare species of Trogossitidae beetle. In order to encourage further exploration and to better identify the probable distribution of this species, we used modelling (niche models and bioclimatic variables) to estimate its potential distribution.
