Carabus hungaricus is one of the few ground beetles that occur on the annex II of the Habitat Directive. It is a rare and restricted range species of the Panonian steppe. Carabus hungaricus usually inhabits sandy grasslands and dolomitic grasslands. The most threatened populations occur on the dolomitic grasslands. Szentendre Island still holds a viable population of this species on the sandy grasslands.
The beetle on the image is a male.
