Cylindroiulus truncorum (Silvestri, 1896) View in CoL .

This species was found in the Charles University Botanical Gardens in 2000 and was later discovered in the Prague Zoological Garden in 2001. It lives under the bark of dead trees and in compost, where the larvae develop. It may even be active during warmer winters, when it breeds. My assumption is that it colonises new territories in transported gardening soil, judging by the fact that specimens have so far only been found in the two isolated localities.
