David Hauck, Josef Jelínek & Lukáš ČížekThe sap beetle Pityophagus quercus found in the Czech Republic after more than a centuryKlapalekiana 60(3–4): 147-151

Abstract: The sap beetle Pityophagus quercus Reitter, 1877 is a rare beetle species associated with old oaks. Herein we report two records of the species: A recent finding from Pohansko near Břeclav and a century-old specimen from Prague-Radotín. The first record confirms occurrence of the beetle in the Czech Republic after more than a century, while the second one widens its known distribution to Bohemia. The habitat requirements of the species and its conservation are discussed.

Josef JelínekOn the identity of Dermestes psyllius Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)Klapalekiana 60(3–4): 153-156

Abstract: An overlooked taxon name, Dermestes psyllius Linnaeus, 1758 is studied and its synonymy with Brassicogethes viridescens (Fabricius, 1787) is established. Nitidula viridescens Fabricius, 1787 (= Brassicogethes viridescens (Fabricius, 1787)) is proposed as nomen protectum and Dermestes psyllius Linnaeus, 1756 as nomen oblitum according to Article 23.9 of ICZN (1999).

Peter Maršalek, Slavomír Stašiov, Anna Šestáková & Ľudmila ČerneckáKosce (Opiliones) Národného parku Slovenský rajKlapalekiana 60(3–4): 157-167

Abstract: This study presents the results of faunistic research on harvestmen (Opiliones), carried out in 1999, 2000, and 2023 on 21 study sites in the Slovenský raj National Park. A total of 361 harvestmen belonging to eleven species and three families were collected in the studied area. From a zoogeographical point of view, these comprised one Holarctic species, six European, two Central European, one Central and Southeastern European species, and one Carpathian endemic. Among the interesting data for the Slovenský raj NP are the findings of rare species of harvestmen, namely the Carpathian endemic Paranemastoma kochi (Nowicki, 1870) and the species Platybunus pallidus Šilhavý, 1938, which is one of our rarer harvestmen. Currently, together with older published data, 13 species of harvestmen are known to occur in the territory of the Slovenský raj.
