Abstract
A new inland population of the rare ground beetle Amara strenua Zimmerman, 1832 is reported for Belgium. This species was encountered during a survey using pitfall traps at Abdij van Park near Heverlee. This observation marks the first record in Flemish Brabant, as well as the most inland known population of A. strenua in Flanders. Details on the habitat and the phenology of the newly discovered population are provided. Furthermore, an overview of the known records and an updated distribution map are given and discussed.
