Abstrakt: Perotis lugubris (Fabricius, 1777) is a large, conspicuous jewel beetle
associated with fruit trees in Europe and Western Asia. In Central Europe, it
used to occur as far north as Silesia. During the 20th century, however, the
range of this species contracted substantially. It has disappeared from Poland
and was considered extinct in the Czech Republic. We report recent findings of
P. lugubris from southern Moravia, and discuss the conservation status of the
rediscovered population.
