Muchówki z rodzaju Pipizella (Diptera, Syrphidae) muraw kserotermicznych Wyżyny Miechowskiej. Hoverflies of the genus Pipizella (Diptera, Syrphidae) of the calcareous grasslands of the Miechowska Upland (S. Poland).

Three species of hoverflies of the genus Pipizella were found during the faunistic survey conducted in the Miechowska Upland. Two of them: P. annulata (Macquart, 1829) and P. divicoi (Goeldlin de Tiefenau, 1974) are rare in Poland. Brief characteristics of the species are provided, including new hints for their determination. After reviewing the information from literature, the presence of the species P. virens (Fabricius, 1805) in Poland is hereby discussed

Syrphidae (Diptera) Świętokrzyskiego Parku Narodowego. Hoverflies (Diptera) of the Świętokrzyski National Park.

This paper presents a summary of knowledge of hoverflies of the Świętokrzyski National Park (Poland) and of a wide belt of adjoining areas, based mostly on the results of faunistic survey conducted in years 1978-1984. In total 176 hoverfly species were found in that area. Seventeen of those species are present on the Red List of Threatened Species of Poland. Detailed information is provided about twenty one species little known in Poland

Przyczynek do rozmieszczenia pluskwiaków różnoskrzydłych (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) w Polsce - III

[A contribution to the distribution of true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) in Poland – III]. This paper is a continuation of a series of publications on the distribution of true bugs in Poland and includes new faunistic data for 306 species of true bugs. In total, data on 62 species previously unreported in 21 zoogeographical regions of Poland is presented, including some rarely collected: Brachyarthrum limitatum, Eurydema fieberi, Peritrechus gracilicornis, Stephanitis pyri, Tingis crispata. It is also noteworthy that this paper was largely prepared using citizen science, where many people (non-specialists in Heteroptera) collected data constituting almost 25% of the presented records. Importantly, the true bugs recorded in this way include species very rarely collected in Poland, and species alien to Polish fauna (e.g. Oxycarenus lavaterae, Nezara viridula and Halyomorpha halys). Due to the lack of funding being a significant obstacle to biodiversity studies in Poland, citizen science seems to be the only way to effectively monitor all the dynamic changes taking place in national entomofauna

A list of species reported for the first time from each zoogeographical regions of Poland is also provided
