| Description | The presence of the endangered beetle Phloeostichus denticollis was confirmed at two sites (Liščí Hřbety near Kubova Huť and Zátoňská Hora Nature Reserve) in the Bohemian Forest (Šumava in Czech, Böhmerwald in German), Czechia. In total four individuals were captured by peeling the bark of sycamore maples. These are the first published records of P. denticollis from western and southern Bohemia. They confirm the importance of old sycamore maples for this rare species and suggest its possible association with the fungus Hymenochaete carpatica. |
