Further records date from 1989. All records are from Eisenach (Thüringen) (Rössner and Apfel 2008). No further records are known. There are, however, records from the Czech Republic very close to the border of Bayern and there are records from France very close to the border of Rheinland-Pfalz and Baden-Württemberg, the occurrence of Aphodius reyi in these Bundesländer can therefore be expected. Recorded from south and west Europe (Spain, Italy, the Balkans, France) and east Europe and Asia (Bulgaria, Ukraine, Turkey). In Central Europe only scattered records from Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland. Biology In Central Europe the adults occur from March to June (with a peak in May) and a (partial?) second generation in October (see Rössner and Apfel 2008). A thermophilous species as evidenced by its mostly southern European distribution, but avoids places directly exposed to the sun. The species prefers bushy and slightly moist habitats mostly in the vicinity of creeks and rivers.
