On October 30th, 2011 one specimen of the ground beetle Cymindis humeralis was found in the Lampertheim Forest under a piece of wood on sandy ground. The xerophilous species is known to occur in most parts of Europe except the northernmost and southernmost regions. Cymindis humeralis prefers heathland, sonny edges of forests and calcareous grassland. In Germany it is recorded from virtually all Federal States, but discoveries are sporadic. It is regarded as vulnerable (RL 3).
