The occurrence of Hylobius spp. was investigated at several localities in the Carinthian districts of Feldkirchen, Klagenfurt-Land and of Valkermarkt in the year 2005. Another aim was to test the lure effect of different tree species as trap material to attract beetles. In total, 5276 adult Hylobius spp. - 5256 H. abietis and 20 H. piceus - were collected. The occurrence of these two species was different during the seasons. in the majority of cases more beetles were collected on spruce bark pieces than on pine and larch log sections.
