Assemblages of some beetle families were investigated on three transitorily non-
cultivated sandy fields near the Brambory and Horušice villages in the Kutná Hora
region (central Bohemia). During the ten-year study period (2012, 2014–2021), a total
of 55 threatened or regionally significant species were collected using various methods
of sampling. Seven recorded taxa (Amara tricuspidata Dejean, 1831, Anthicus
bimaculatus (Illiger, 1801), Harpalus flavescens (Piller & Mitterpacher, 1783), H. hirtipes
(Panzer, 1796), Dicronychus equiseti (Herbst, 1784), Negastrius sabulicola (Boheman,
1852) and Polyphylla fullo (Linnaeus, 1758)) belong to the most regionally significant
beetles. The authors consider the findings of a large number of psammobiont and
psammophilous species to be very valuable with regard to the decrease of non-forest
sandy areas in the Czech Republic.
