This paper summarizes the records of Dendroleon pantherinus (Fabricius, 1787), a European species of antlion belonging to rare and threatened taxa, in the Czech Republic. The species is associated with an ancient xerothermic broadleave forest habitat. So far, D. pantherinus was recorded only a few times in the Czech Republic − always in the southernmost part of Moravia. Several new records of the species from Moravia and Silesia are given. These are Nivnice, Mohelno, Mašovice (in southeast Moravia) and Bukovec (near the Czech-Polish border, in Silesia), where several specimens were sampled, mostly in the dwellings. Therefore, we presume at least partially synanthropic life history of the species.
