| Summary | It is a very rare saproxylobiontic species in Europe, whose range evidently shrank in the last century. In the mountains of Central Europe (Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland), separated from the continuous range, its occurrence has a relict character and the species shows there a clear tendency to decline. In Poland it has not been observed for more than one hundred years, therefore considered as extinct. In the 19th century it was found at two localities in the Beskid ¦l±ski Mountains. Not protected by law. One may expect the possible rediscovery of Ditylus laevis in the only north-eastern part of Poland, lying close to the continuous range of the species. Only in case of its reappearance it will be possible to formulate recommendations for its conservation, depending on the place of finding. | |
