Pierwsze stanowisko Scoloposcelis pulchella (Zetterstedt, 1838) (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) w Sudetach Zachodnich (Polska)

Abstract

The first record of Scoloposcelis pulchella in the Eastern Sudetes is presented in the paper. All adults of S. pulchella were obtained from a culture established in photoeclectors, which was a part of the experiment investigating species variability of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) hibernating in spruce branches. The paper also discusses the biology of the species, the area of its occurrence in the Palearctics and particularly in Poland. The authors of the work also point out that another species of Anthocoridae was observed as the result of a similar experiment (Amphiareus obscuriceps was grown from an oak branch).
