The occurrence of the weevil Lixus vilis has been confirmed in Znojmo region after more than 80 years. In the Czech Republic, this rare thermophilous species reaches the northwestern limit of its distribution area. The weevil is collected in spring in open, disturbed habitats, such as road-sides, vineyards, and dry grasslands. Its host is Erodium c...

The main objective of reclamation activities is to accelerate the restoration of post-industrial areas. However current ecological studies that compare reclaimed and non-reclaimed habitats evaluate these areas mainly by species richness and conservation potential. We thus tested which environmental characteristics of the spoil heap determine the st...

Twenty-four species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were recorded in selected peatlands in the Javořická vrchovina Highlands Natural Park during the years 2004–2006. Two recorded species (Carabus problematicus problematicus, C. scheidleri scheidleri) belonged to protected species in the Czech Republic. None of the found species are includ...

This paper follows the first part of the annotated checklist of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea excepting Scolytinae and Platypodinae; ‘exSP’ below) of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, published by Benedikt et al. in 2010. The introductory chapter presents a new checklist following the current system and nomenclature of Curculionoidea (Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017a), and excluding species of improbable or impossible occurrence in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The main chapters of the paper include comments on species of the subfamily Brentidae: Apioninae and several subfamilies of Curculionidae: Cossoninae, Entiminae, Lixinae, Mesoptiliinae and Molytinae, that are interesting from faunistic, ecological or other points of view. Besides supplementary comments, faunistic revision of some species included in the first part of the annotated checklist are presented. At present, we recognise the reliably documented occurrence of 846 species of Curculionoidea (exSP) in Bohemia and 931 species in Moravia. In total, 970 species are reliably known from the Czech Republic. For Slovakia, 1056 species are reliably documented and in total, from the whole territory of the Czech Republic and Slovakia (former Czechoslovakia) there are presently 1109 reliably documented species of Curculionoidea (exSP). The paper also brings some faunistical changes: the recent occurrence of Nanophyes globiformis Kiesenwetter, 1864 is confirmed for Bohemia and Phyllobius xanthocnemus Kiesenwetter, 1852 is reported as a new species for Bohemia. The occurrence of Mecinus heydenii Wencker, 1866 and the recent occurrence of Bruchela conformis (Gyllenhal, 1833) are confirmed in Moravia and Dieckmaniellus gracilis (L. Redtenbacher, 1847) is reliably documented for the territory of the Czech Republic.
