In deciduous forests (mainly Melico-Fagetum and Fago-Quercetum petraeae) of the central part of the Puszcza Bukowa (NW Poland) 19 species of Elateridae, 1 of Eucnemidae and 1 of Throscidae were found. Besides, outside the area under detailed investigation (in agrocenoses, on fens among cultivated fields, in mixed forests), 6 more elaterid species were collected. Old data on the occurrence of Denticollis rubens and Stenagostus villosus - rare species, characteristic of large natural woodlands - in the Western Pomerania were confirmed. The following species are new to the Pomeranian Lake Region: Pseudathous hirtus, Anostirus castaneus, Ampedus rufipennis, Agriotes acuminatus. The studied area is poor with respect to its fauna of Elateroidea, the main reason being forest management, even in nature reserves.
