摘要：The western Palaearctic carabid beetle Agonum scitulum has been found at the fen in Mt Žumberak (NW Croatia). This second Croatian record represents the south westernmost distribution point for this rare species in Europe. Agonum scitulum is an extremely hygrophilous species, recorded on humid alkaline soil in the vicinity of the Jarak stream, in the successional phase of common reed and willow surrounding the basophilous Jarak fen. During two years of systematic sampling at this locality using different methods only two macropterous specimens of A. scitulum were collected with pitfall traps, leading to the conclusion that this species is probably rare in the area.
