These quite uncommon beetles are present in most of Europe, in North Africa and in the Near East. Scaphidium quadrimaculatum can reach a length of 5–6 mm. These small beetles have a broad and oval-shaped body. They are completely shiny black, with four irregular red spots on elytra. Thorax is somewhat coarctate on each side behind. Elytra are widely punctured, while tibiae are striated. Adults can mostly be encountered from April through August feeding on various species of fungi, especially bracket fungi.
