Brouci (Coleoptera) Národní přírodní rezervace Žebračka

Abstract: The present study deals with faunistic survey of beetles (Coleoptera) (above all saproxylic beetles) in Žebračka National Nature Reserve, close to the town of Přerov (Czech Republic). In total, 1284 specimens representing 174 species were recorded during the vegetation season of 2013 by means of individual sampling, beating from trees and bushes, sweeping, and 20 flight intercept traps. The families Cerambycidae (23 species) and Elateridae (18 species) were the most species rich. Twenty-nine red-listed species were found including seven critically endangered species (Elater ferrugineus Linnaeus, 1758, Hylis cariniceps (Reitter, 1902), Hylis olexai (Palm, 1955), Siagonium humerale Germar, 1836, Mordellaria aurofasciata (Comolli, 1837), Osmoderma barnabita Motschulsky, 1845 and Orchesia blandula Brancsik, 1874). Furthermore, nine endangered, ten vulnerable and three near-threatened species were recorded.
