Abstract

This paper is a short report based on material collected in the scope of hydrobiological research in Western Carpathians: Cordulegaster heros Theischinger, 1979 was recorded in west Slovakia, approximately 90 km E-NE of Bratislava, Slovakia.

Highlights

The newest data confirms the need of research and proves that the extent of occurrence of C. heros on the northern border of its range is much greater

The absolute height of the site is approximate to typical – the majority of sites in Slovakia are located at 270-360 m a.s.l. (Balázs & Holuša 2018)

Summary

Introduction

This paper is a short report based on material collected in the scope of hydrobiological research in Western Carpathians: C. heros was recorded in west Slovakia, approximately 90 km E-NE of Bratislava (20.04.2017, 1 larva). The newest data confirms the need of research and proves that the extent of occurrence of C. heros on the northern border of its range is much greater. Bernard & Daraż (2015) discovered five sites in the Chernivtsi Oblast in west Ukraine. A number of sites were discovered in Slovakia (review in David & Šacha 2019).
