Abstract

The fauna of obligate inhabitants of dendrothelms in beech primeval forests includes 8 species: Prionocyphon serricornis (Mull.), Elodes marginata Fabr., Cyphon coarctatus Payk. (Scirtidae, Coleoptera); Anopheles claviger (Meigen), Anopheles plumbeus Steph., Ochlerotatus geniculatus (Oliv.) (Culicidae, Diptera), Dasyhelea flavifrons (Guer.)
