| Summary | It is a very rare, declining species in Central Europe. In Poland it occurs at the northern edge of its range. It was found in the south-eastern part of the country at several localities (near Przemyśl, near Rzeszów and in the Tatra Mts.) in the later part of the 19th century, and recently in the vicinity of Rymanów. The principal threat is loss of habitats: ponds, ox-bow lakes and swamps due to lowering of the ground water table, pollution and destruction of small water bodies (in which larvae develop). All species from the genus Stratiomys, occurring in Poland, are more or less endangered. Stratiomys ruficornis was included in the red book as an example and as the rarest representative of the genus. S. ruficornis does not need legal protection as a species. | |
