Abstract: Carpophilus (Carpophilus) marginellus Motschulsky, 1858 Material examined: Sakar Mts, Ustrem Vill., 42°01.341’N 26°27.385’E, 95 m a.s.l., backyard of a house (Fig. 1 B, D), 07.ix.2024, 1 ♂ (BFUS- COL000002), under decaying figs, after sunset, D. Gradinarov & Y. Petrova leg. (Fig. 2 B, C). The species C. marginellus is of Paleotropical origin, but presently has a cosmopolitan distribution (Jelínek & Audisio 2007; Jelínek et al. 2016). In Europe, the species was first recorded in Great Britain in 1938 (Denux & Zagatti 2010). For Bulgaria, C. marginellus has been repeatedly cited without specified localities (Jelínek & Audisio 2007; Tomov et al. 2009; Denux & Zagatti 2010; Tomov & Trencheva 2013; Martynov et al. 2019). This species apparently can use a wide range of food sources besides fruits, being found in grains, compost, on tree sap and on flowers (Denux & Zagatti 2010; Martynov et al. 2019).
