Abstract: A female of the alpine pyralid moth, Pyrausta coracinalis Leraut, 1982 was
recently captured on a limestone slope above the village of Svatý Jan pod
Skalou in the Bohemian Karst, representing a further representative of the
alpine faunistic element in this territory. Its presence there is discussed. It
is the first record of this species north of the Alps and the first reliable
record from the Czech Republic.
