Abstract
Apalus bimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1761), which belongs to the family of blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) has been recorded for the first time in Serbia. It was found in February 2013, in an urban Belgrade area, in the locality of Zemun. Its life cycle is connected with the solitary bee species Colletes cunicularius (Linnaeus) (Hymenoptera: Colletidae), which was found one month later in the same place. Collected adults of A. bimaculatus were reared in laboratory until the first instar larvae - triungulin larvae hatched out from the laid eggs.Početkom 2013. godine, u Srbiji je prvi put utvrđena vrsta Apalus bimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1761), koja pripada familiji Meloidae (Coleoptera).
