Abstract: A female of Mycetochara obscura (Zetterstedt, 1838) has been found in the
Červené Blato peat-bog in southern Bohemia. The species has been known only
from northern and northeastern Europe and an isolated locality in eastern
Poland. Its relict occurrence at Červené Blato serves as a further evidence of
the boreal character of the biota at the locality and represents the first
record of the species from the Czech Republic.
