Abstract

In 2014 research was carried out into saproxylic beetle fauna in different forest communities in Kopački rit Nature park. There were 64 species of saproxylic beetles found in the area. among them Cucujus cinnaberinus (scopoli, 1763) and rhysodes sulcatus (fabricius, 1787) are protected by the european habitats Directive (annex II and IV of Council Directive 92/43/eeC) as well as by the bern Convention (annex II), and are listed in the IuCN red list of Threatened species. r. sulcatus and omoglymmius germari (Ganglbauer, 1891), which was also determined, are also virgin forest relict species of europewide importance. additionally, we have used intercept traps, pitfall traps and air traps with attractants to estimate the relative abundance and seasonal activity of adults as well as to estimate trapping efficiency. some morphological, biological and distributional features of these three species are discussed.
