A new procedure for mark-recapture of Coleoptera Dytiscidae was developed. It consists of marking one elytron directly in the field using a battery driven mini-drill for making a small scratch, followed by attachment of a small label with an alpha-numeric code printed on hydro-resistant paper. The results of a four-year long study on some Dytiscidae species living in a montane peat-bog are summarized and discussed. The application of the method to other taxa is also outlined
