Notes: Like the previous species of the genus Lamprochernes , L. nodosus was reidentified based on new characters ( Christophoryová et al. 2023). The species is much rarer, but it also inhabits compost heaps ( KaňuchovÁ et al. 2015; Christophoryová et al. 2023) and bird nests ( Krištofík et al. 1996). Only one new sampling site of the species was added during the present research, it was recorded in the Malaise trap in Rača.
