Differences in the prevalence of eugregarines parasitisation in epigeic communities of the Carabidae beetles family were studied. Host insects were collected from six sites differing in the level of plant cover and humidity. It was proved that the level to which Carabidae were parasitized by eugregarines was significantly influenced by the plant cover of the land. The Carabidae way of feeding was a less important factor influencing the prevalence. Large size zoophages and hemizoophages were parasitized at higher level than small zoophages.
