Abstract
Distribution and abundance of the most harmful click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) were sampled with sex pheromone traps at 11 sites in the Carpathian lowlands in 2022. Samples provided the first Hungarian data on Agriotes sordidus, occurring northwest of the country with low abundances. The most abundant species was A. rufipalpis, while A. ustulatus, A. lineatus and A. sputator were also common. The reordering of the species rank and the absence of A. obscurus from the Transdanubian sites, compared to data collected between 2010 and 2013, may refer to the climatic changes during the last decade.
