| Popis | Eighteen species of Hydraenidae and ten species of Elmidae were recorded at 89 sites in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area and Biosphere Reserve (southeastern Moravia, Czech Republic) in the course of surveys in 1994-2010. Three additional species of Hydraenidae are known from the area only from historical records. Ochthebius colveranus Ferro, 1979 is recorded for the first time for the Czech Republic; this is a most surprising discovery, together with Hydraena rufipes Curtis, 1830, the finding of which has been already reported elsewhere. Moreover, we confirm the recent occurrence of Hydraena minutissima Stephens, 1829 and Ochthebius metallescens Rosenhauer, 1847 in Moravia. The complete list of published and new records from the area is supplemented by brief notes on the ecology and conservation status of each species. Two of the species recorded are classified as endangered (Hydraena pulchella Germar, 1824, Ochthebius metallescens Rosenhauer, 1847), three as vulnerable (Hydraena morio Kiesenwetter, 1849, Elmis obscura (Ph. Müller, 1806) and Riolus cupreus (Ph. Müller, 1806))and two as near-threatened (Hydraena belgica Orchymont, 1930 and Hydraena schuleri Ganglbauer, 1901) in the Red List of threatened invertebrates of the Czech Republic. These results show that the area is particularly rich in the running water fauna of the Hydraenidae and Elmidae. |
