The Cylapinae (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera: Miridae) of India: review of the subfamily with description of new species
2016
The subfamily Cylapinae (Insecta, Heteroptera: Miridae) from India is reviewed. Three tribes, seven genera and nineteen species are cited from the country, keyed and described. Six species are described as new: Fulvius kadapaensis sp. nov., Peritropis kodava sp. nov., Peritropis pathaki sp. nov., Peritropis sangai sp. nov., Peritropis yasunagai sp. nov. and Rhinomiris prathapani sp. nov. A new synonymy is published: Peritropis lewisi (Distant, 1904) (valid name) = Peritropis indicus Gorczyca, 2006b (new junior subjective synonym).
Tienpientareiden merkitys vaihtoehtoisina elinympäristöinä perinneympäristöjen luteille
2015
Lajistollinen monimuotoisuus vähenee maailmanlaajuisesti kiihtyvällä vauhdilla, etenkin ihmistoiminnasta aiheutuvan laajamittaisen elinympäristöjen tuhoutumisen ja huonontumisen johdosta. Niin Suomessa, kuin myös muualla Euroopassa, maatalouden tehostuminen viimeisen sadan vuoden aikana on johtanut perinteisen karjatalouden synnyttämien perinneympäristöjen rajuun vähenemiseen. Monet jäljellä olevat perinneympäristöt kärsivät lisäksi elinympäristön laadullisesta huonontumisesta, kuten umpeenkasvusta, rehevöitymisestä, sekä vieraslajien invaasioista. Perinneympäristöjen tuhoutuessa ja huonontuessa ovat myös monet niillä elävistä eliölajeista taantuneita tai luokiteltu uhanalaisiksi. Uhanalais…
The mesothoracic wings of Afrotropical Scutelleridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera): morphology and taxonomic significance
2013
Mesothoracic wings have been examined and compared in 32 species representing 20 genera of Afrotropical Scutelleri- dae. Morphological characters of the corium are described. Three main types of mesothoracic wing venation patterns can be recognized. The taxonomic significance of forewi ng characters in Scutelleridae is briefly discussed.
Dichrooscytus gustavi Josifov, 1981 (Heteroptera: Miridae) – pierwsze potwierdzone stanowisko w Polsce / Dichrooscytus gustavi Josifov, 1981 (Heterop…
2019
Dichrooscytus gustavi differs from D. rufipennis and D. intermedius primarily by a smaller size of the body and the entirely green scutellum. Its occurrence has been confirmed so far in more than ten European countries, where it was reported to live on Juniperus communis L. and also on different introduced species of Cupressaceae. In this note the first locality of this species in Poland is presented. Moreover, the authors explain a reason why D. valesianus [= at present D. gustavi] was removed from the list of species occurring in Poland (in the 2011’s Catalogue of Miridae of Poland), and suggest a possibility of the presence of D. gustavi in Poland as early as the first half of the …
Nowe stanowiska Sthenarus rotermundi (Scholtz, 1847) (Heteroptera: Miridae) w Polsce z uwagami o morfologii gatunku / New records of Sthenarus roterm…
2020
This article presents two new records of Sthenarus rotermundi (Scholtz, 1847) in Poland, i.e., Warsaw (Mazowiecka Lowland), and Brzeg (Lower Silesia), with a summary on distribution of this species in our country. Detailed photos of several morphological characters of this species are included, namely the colour pattern of hind femur, shape of the head and tylus, hemelytral pilosity, and a shape of aedeagus. Moreover, the validity of some morphological characters used in widely available keys for separation of S. rotermundi and Salicarius roseri (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1838) are discussed. Both, morphological illustrations and remarks, are presented in order to make the identification of mentio…

2017
A list of 149 true-bug species collected form Gdynia and its vicinity (Polish Baltic Coast) is provided, including 11 species recorded for the first time from the Polish Baltic Coast (Elasmostethus minor Horváth, Gonocerus juniperi Herrich-Schaeffer, Tritomegas sexmaculatus (Rambur), Nysius senecionis (Schilling), Deraeocoris annulipes (Herrich-Schaeffer), Psallus perrisi (Mulsant et Rey), Nabis punctatus A. Costa, Oxycarenus modestus (Fallén), Coptosoma scutellatum (Geoffroy), Drymus sylvaticus (Fabricius), and Saldula opacula (Zetterstedt)). Moreover, Dicyphus annulatus (Wolff, 1804) is recorded for the second time in Poland.
Badania faunistyczne nad lądowymi pluskwiakami różnoskrzydłymi (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) w Polsce: rys historyczny i perspektywy [Faunistic researches…
2019
This paper presents the history of research on terrestrial true-bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) in Poland, the current state of knowledge and perspectives in future faunistic studies in our country. Cimex lectularius was the first species of Heteroptera recorded from the present territory of Poland; it was listed in „Theriotropheum Silesiae” by Caspar Schwenkfeld (1603) from Silesia. In the XIXth century the number of Heteroptera species records from the present territory of Poland increased rapidly, mainly due to the faunistic studies by both, German (Weigel 1806; Schilling 1827, 1837; Gravenhorst 1836; Siebold 1839; Scholtz 1847; Schramm 1848; Assmann 1854) and Polish (Gorski 18…
Zajadkowate (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) Polski: przegląd systematyczny, rozmieszczenie, klucz do oznaczania / Assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Hete…
2019
This paper summarises the distribution of eleven species of the family Reduviidae in Poland basing on literature data and new re-cords. Coranus aethiops is for the first time reported from Poland. Moreover, the key for identification of species occurring in Poland is also provided. High quality graphics have been prepared for each species, and in some cases, photos from nature were also included.
Host-Plant Selection and Predation Risk for Offspring of the Parent Bug
1995
Herbivores, especially specialists, must adapt to characteristics of their host to survive and reproduce successfully (Hardin and Tallamy1992). If offspring survival among different hosts varies, natural selection should lead females to choose egg-laying sites where performance of the progeny will be highest. This is especially true when newly hatched larvae cannot move to another host (Singer 1986), or when searching for new hosts would cause heavy mortality (Singer and Mandracchia 1982). A number of studies have shown that females that search for oviposition sites respond to plant characteristics that are correlated with the nutritional quality of plants for their offspring (e.g., Myers 1…
