The occurrence of Cordulegaster heros Theischinger, 1979 was studied in details in the southern part of Slovakia during 1997-2009. At present four regions with its occurrence are known - the Borská nížina Lowland, the Malé Karpaty Mts. in the western Slovakia, the Revúcka vrchovina Highlands and the Stolické vrchy Hills in central Slovakia. The species was found at totally 44 localities, which lay at the altitude from 194 to 516 m a.s.l. with its main occurrence in the range of 201-300 m a.s.l. The evaluation of occurrence was based on records of larvae. Area of Cordulegaster heros in southern Slovakia is seemingly disjunctive.
