| Summary | It is a very rare Pannonic species, declining in the whole area of its occurrence. Its trophy is associated with truffles and other subterraneous fungi, which also in Poland are becoming increasingly rarer, probably due to chemical loading of the environment. Despite intense coleopterological research, Bolbelasmus unicornis has not been observed in Poland during the last 25 years. It is suggested that possible current localities of the species should be given active protection in nature reserves. Protected by law since 2004. | |
