Abstract

In the Czech Republic, Cybister lateralimarginalis (De Geer 1774) is a critically endangered and very rarely recorded species of densely vegetated smaller lakes and ponds. Here we present numerous records of the species in small freshwater pools at lignite spoil heaps at the North Bohemian lignite basin, western Czech Republic.
