On June 1st, 2014, one specimen of the rove beetle Sepedophilus bipustulatus was discovered on the island Reißinsel near Mannheim-Neckarau in the detritus of an old willow. It can be distinguished from its similar sister species by the very short elytra. In Germany, the species is very rare and is regarded as critically endangered (RL 1). This discovery is the first for Baden since more than 60 years.
