New records and summarized published data about the distribution of Leviellus species in Czechia are provided. There are two species: Leviellus thorelli(Ausserer, 1871) and Leviellus stroemi(Thorell, 1870). While Leviellus thorelliis a rare thermophilic species associated mainly with solitary deciduous trees and in Czechia occurring only in southern Moravia, Leviellus stroemiis locally common throughout the country, preferring a wider range of habitats. The paper also provides information about biology and ecology of both species in Czechia.
