Summary  Dytiscus latissimus is one of the rarest and more threatened water coleopterans in Europe, inhabiting mostly densely vegetated shores of large ponds and lakes. In Poland the area of its occurrence has been shrinking for several decades. Its regress is attributed to pollution and degradation of water habitat. Only few localities are given protection in nature reserves. It is recommended that conservation of the species should be improved through protection of waters and discovered localities.
