A total of 350 species were recorded in investigated sites, but only five tyrphobionts (1.4%) are proposed: Microchelonus basalis, Microchelonus koponeni, Coloneura ate, Coloneura danica and Myiocephalus niger. All of these species have a boreal-alpine distribution that, in Central Europe, is associated only with peatbogs. Tyrphophilous behaviour is seen in at least four (1.1%) species: Microchelonus pedator, Microchelonus subpedator, Microchelonus karadagi and Microchelonus gravenhorstii; however, a number of other braconids prefer peatbogs because they were more frequently encountered within, rather than outside, the bog habitat. The rest of the braconids (342 species, 97.5%) are tyrphoneutrals, many of them being eurytopic components of various habitats throughout their current ranges. Lists of tyrphobiontic braconids and a brief commentary on species composition, distributional picture of actual ranges, and parasitoid association to bog landscape are provided. Being true refugial habitats for populations in an ever-changing world, peatbogs play a significant role in harboring insect communities.10aAnimal10aAnimals10aBehavior10abiodiversity10aCircadian Rhythm10aCzech Republic10aHost-Parasite Interactions10alepidoptera10aLepidoptera: parasitology10aWasps10aWasps: physiology10aWetlands1 aLozan, A.I.1 aBelokobylskij, S.A.1 avan Achterberg, C.1 aMonaghan, M.T.  uhttps://insectafgseag.myspecies.info/en/content/diversity-and-distribution-braconidae-family-parasitoid-wasps-central-european-peatbogs-sout
