New data on the occurrence of terrestrial true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) in Pieniny Mountains

Abstract

The results on studies of the fauna of true bugs are presented. The research was conducted in the years 2005–2008 in the Pieniny Mountains. A list of 71 species, mainly belonging to the family Miridae, is presented. Among the identified specimens such rare species in Poland as Eurycolpus flaveolus, Stenodema sericans and Berytinus signoreti deserve a special interest. Features that distinguish very similar species, such as Lygus wagneri and L. punctatus, are given.
