| Description | A total of 110 species of adephagan and hydrophiloid water beetles (Gyrinidae: 3 spp., Haliplidae: 6 spp., Noteridae: 2 spp., Dytiscidae: 45 spp., Helophoridae: 11 spp., and Hydrophilidae: 43 spp.) were recorded at 114 sites in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area (south-eastern Moravia, Czech Republic). Most of the records come from surveys carried out in 1994–2010, with some additional data based on collection specimens. A complete list of all records from the area is supplemented by brief notes on the ecology and conservation status of each species. Results show that the area harbours a rich water beetle fauna and may provide refuges for rare and endangered species. |
