Abstract: We studied the beetle (Coleoptera) communities and their activity in epigeon of high altitudes of Západné Tatry Mts. (2004 – 2022) and Nízke Tatry Mts. (2018-2022). Sampling was performed by the soil trap method and yielded a total of 243 species. In the beetle communities species Carabus sylvestris, Calathus etallicus, Cychrus caraboides, Pterostichus morio carpathicus, Pterostichus unctulatus, Leptusa fl avicornis and Otiorhynchus arcticus were dominated.
