Rozšíření a ekologie brouků rodu Choleva (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae) na území Čech, Moravy a Slovenska

Abstract: Distributional data of 14 species of Choleva from Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia are presented. The species C. agilis, C. sturmi, C. oblonga oblonga, C. cisteloides and C. glauca are widely distributed and only the locality records are given. The rest of the species is less abundant and complete data are presented. All records are followed with the grid mapping codes, the maps of distribution for all species are figured. The sampling methods are briefly discussed: the beetles are usually taken individually in tunnels and nests of small mammals or trapped with baited pitfail traps in caves and rock debrises. The species have different patterns of seasonal abundance.
