An additional locality of Agnatus decoratus (Germar, 1818) (Coleoptera: Pyrochroidae) in Poland
Abstract
Agnatus decoratus was first recorded in Poland at two localities along the Odra and Vistula rivers in 2022-2023. This beetle species exhibits a highly cryptic lifestyle, which results in it being very rarely collected. It is also an obligate saproxylic species, requiring the presence of dead wood within river channels. The present paper reports an additional third locality of Agnatus decoratus in Poland, and the second record from the Vistula River.
