On April 19th, 2014 two specimens of the ground beetle Harpalus subcylindricus were observed in an abandoned limestone quarry near Neuleiningen. The thermophilous species is known to occur from the Pyreneeen over Central Europe, Asia Minor and Sibiria to China. It can be found from the lowlands to the colline zone in dry habitats like calcareous grassland on sandy clay, shell limestone and gypsum. In Germany the species is missing in the North and is scattered and rather rare (RL D).
