Abstract: New records of Metatropis rufescens (Herrich-Schäffer, 1835) from the Czech
Republic are reported (Bohemia: 19 cells of grid mapping, Moravia and Silesia:
6 cells). Contrary to previous evidence, M. rufescens seems to be rather
widespread in Bohemia as well. Its distribution however closely matches the
patchy distribution of its host plants of the genus Circaea growing mainly in
well-preserved floodplain and scree forests.
Key words: Faunistics, floodplain forests, plant-animal interactions, nature protected areas, Bohemia, Moravia
