Lectotypes are designated for 23 Kolenati’s species and varieties in the Museum of Natu- ral History, Vienna.

The following new synonymies are established: Liorhyssus hyalinus (Fabricius, 1794) = Corizus rubescens Kolenati, 1845; Sehirus luctuosus Mulsant & Rey, 1866, nomen protectum = Cydnus affinis var. ibericus Kolenati, 1846, nomen oblitum; Geotomus elongatus (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1840) = Cydnus caucasicus Kolenati, 1846 (G. ciliatitylus Signoret, 1881 is a good species, not synonymous with C. caucasicus); Eurygaster integriceps Puton, 1881, nomen protectum = E. hottentotta var. obliqua Kolenati, 1846, nomen oblitum.

  • Štys P. the Stridulatory Mechanism in Centrocoris Spiniger (F.)
    ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA MUSEI NATIONALIS PRAGAE 1 9 6 1, X X X I V, 59 2 !--- THE STRIDULATORY MECHANISM IN CENTROCORIS SPINIGER (F.) AND SOME OTHER CQREIDAE (HETEROPTERA) PAVEL STYS (Chair of Systematic Zoology, Charles University, Praha) Introduction · Leston (1957) has summarized the knowledge of stridulatory mecha- . nisms in terrestrial species of Heteroptera. The ability to stridulate was ascertained in 11 terrestrial families of bugs, and 14 types of stridulatory organs have already been registered. In a number of groups (Acanthoso­ midae, some subfamilies of Pentatomidae, Coreidae) the ability to stridu­ late was ascertained, but the stridulatory mechanisms have not yet been discovered. It follows from the Leston's summary that the ability to stridulate was alreadyregistered in 3 genera of the family Coreidae: Phyllomorpha Lap., Spathocera Stein and Centrocoris Kolen. However, the stridulatory mechanism is still not known in any of these genera*). Saunders (1893) had noticed that Centrocoris spiniger (Fabricius, 1781) "stridulates loudly", but he did not give more particulars. During my excursion to the western coast of the Caucasus in June 1960 I had an opportunity to collect the mentioned species, to observe its stridulation and to discover its stridulatory meC1hanism. Field observations Centrocoris spiniger (F.) is very common insect on the western coast of the Caucasus. In the period 21st to 28th June 1960 I found it many times (also in copula) in several places near the towns Tuapse and Sochi, always associated with its host-plant Anthemis tinctoria L. (det. V. Ska­ licky). I failed to hear stridulation of the free specimens on the plants.

    © Zool.-Bot. Ges. Österreich, Austria; download unter www.zobodat.at Acta ZooBot Austria 155, 2018, 251–256 Snapshot of the terrestrial true bug fauna of the Pocem floodplains (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) Wolfgang Rabitsch 61 terrestrial true bug (Heteroptera) species are reported from a short field trip in April 2017 along the river Vjosa in the Pocem floodplains, Albania. Five species are reported for the first time for Albania, indicating insufficient baseline information on the distribution of true bugs in the region. Future sampling designs should consider the interstitial habitats, river gravel and sand banks, and adjacent dry grassland areas. Certain difficulties aside, true bugs are a significant group of insect species with de- scriptive and indicative value. RABITSCH W., 2018: Momentaufnahme der terrestrischen Wanzenfauna im Pocem Überschwemmungsgebiet (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera). Während einer kurzen Exkursion im April 2017 entlang des Flusses Vjosa im Pocem Überschwemmungsgebiet, Albanien, wurden 61 terrestrische Wanzenarten (Heterop- tera) festgestellt. Fünf Arten werden der erste Mal für Albanien gemeldet, ein Hinweis auf die unzureichende Datenlage der Verbreitung von Wanzen im Gebiet. Zukünftige Erhebungen sollten insbesondere die interstitiellen Habitate am Flussufer, Sandbänke und die angrenzenden Trockenrasenstandorte untersuchen. Trotz gewisser Schwierig- keiten sind Wanzen als Deskriptoren und Indikatoren der Lebensräume eine aussage- kräftige Insektengruppe von hohem Wert. Keywords: Albania, floodplain, Heteroptera, new records, riparian, river. Introduction True bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) are well-known descriptors and indicators of terrestrial and aquatic habitats and their ecological quality (Duelli & Obrist 1998, Achtziger et al. 2007, Rabitsch 2008, Skern et al. 2010). Due to their diversity of feeding habits, life-histories, biology, and preferred habitats, true bugs are a meaningful addition to any Environmental Impact Assessment (e.g.

INTRODUCCION Los Coreoidea son representados en Nicaragua por solo tres familias: Coreidae, Alydidae y Rhopalidae. Son en general fitófagos y a veces de importancia económica, atacando algunos cultivos. Morfológicamente pueden identificarse por presentar los siguientes caracteres: antenas de 4 segmentos, presencia de ocelos, labio de 4 segmentos, membrana de las alas anteriores con numerosas venas. Los Coreidae se caracterizan por un tamaño mediano a grande, en general mayor de un centímetro. Los fémures posteriores son a veces engrosados y las tibias posteriores a veces parecen pedazos de hojas, de donde deriva el nombre común en Nicaragua "chinches patas de hojas". Los Alydidae son alargados, delgados, con cabeza ancha y las ninfas ocasionalmente son miméticas de hormigas. Son especies de tamaño mediano, generalmente mayor de un centímetro. Los Rhopalidae son chinches pequeñas, muchas veces menores de un centímetro y con la membrana habitualmente con venación reducida.

The contents of each chapter generally reflect the special interests of the contributors. Some have presented a detailed taxonomic review of the families concerned; some have referred the readers to standard taxonomic works, in view of the breadth and complexity of the subject concerned, and have concentrated on ecological or physiological aspects; others have chosen to review insects of a specific set of habitats.
