Abstrakt: Among the huge variety of insects, only a small number of species are capable of
active lifestyles during the winter period. This paper give results of a
detailed survey of the winter insect fauna collected by hand on snow in January
and February 2021 in the westernmost Czech Republic. A total of 31 insect
species (Coleoptera 3 spp., Diptera 27 spp. and Mecoptera 1 taxon) are
recorded. In addition to taxa already known to occur on snow, at least 10 other
species with the same behaviour are reported. Chionea botosaneanui
(Burghele-Bălăcesco, 1969) (Diptera: Limoniidae) is recorded from Bohemia for
the first time; two other species, Copromyza neglecta (Malloch, 1913) and
Ischiolepta denticulata (Meigen, 1830) (both Diptera: Sphaeroceridae), are known
from a few records in the Czech Republic and classified as vulnerable (VU)
species in the country. In Coleoptera, Rabocerus gabrieli (Gerhardt, 1901)
(Salpingidae) is a rare and endangered (EN) species in the Czech Republic.
