Due to the reporting of Tritomegas sexmaculatus (RAMB.) from Pomerania Lake District, its northern border of range has been moved above 52°N. Photos facilitating the identification of both species are presented.

To date, there have been four records in Poland, always of single or just a very few individuals. Here, we are report four additional localities where this species was found in recent years; at one of them, more than ten individuals were seen. The southernmost of these localities was in the Świętokrzyskie Mts., far beyond the geographical range of this species in Poland, hitherto assumed to be restricted to the Baltic Coast and the Pomeranian Lake District regions in the northern part of the country. The majority of records come from pools formed in pits where root masses of uprooted trees used to be. Our observations show that the species occurs in small numbers (only a single individual was collected in one pool), and prefers cold, shaded water.

They can be used as a multifunctional agronomic tool because they can prevent the decline of species diversity in the agroecosystem and increase functional biodiversity, which is a prerequisite for the provision of ecosystem services, such as pollination and natural pest control. Research highlights the great potential and multifunctionality of flower strips. This paper provides a synthesis of the most important information and research findings regarding flower strips and may be a useful tool in relation to the European Green Deal, which aims to move the EU towards a green transformation. Where intensive chemical treatments in agriculture have contributed to the degradation of the agricultural landscape, flower strips can support its ecological intensification.

Alopecosa sulzeri (Pavesi, 1873) is a xero- and thermophilic species distributed in the western Palearctic. In Europe, it occurs primarily in the south-east, while it is rare in Central Europe. Between 2007 and 2013, we recorded the species in the central-eastern, north-western and south-western parts of Poland. The sites of A. sulzeri in Poland are located at the northern limit of the geographic range of the species in Europe. Alopecosa sulzeri was caught at four sites in three regions, exclusively in xerothermic grasslands: in the Podlasie Bug Gorge, the Lower Oder Valley and the Trzebnickie Hills. The sites may be relict, or they may provide evidence of the spread of the species from sites located in neighbouring countries. Further spread of stenotopic, xerophilous A. sulzeri in Poland, if continued, is likely to be a slow process, due to the ...

For complete list of taxonomic references see WSC (2020). <b>Description.</b> <i>Alopecosa sulzeri</i> is a medium-sized species with body colours corresponding to the <i>Alopecosa fabrilis</i> (Clerck, 1757) group. Body length of males 8–10 mm and females 14–19 mm (Nentwig <i>et al.</i> 2020). Measurements for specimens from Poland. Female: carapace length (n = 3) 5.42–6.34 [average 5.93], total length (n = 1) 13.07; male: carapace length (n = 7) 5.09–5.39 [average 5.27], total length (n = 5) 9.87–10.81 [average 10.23]. Carapace red-brown with wide bright stripe in middle (Figs 6, 8, 13). Dorsal part of abdomen grey-brown, with faint lanceolate spot in anterior part of abdomen and 4–5 darker tile-shaped stripes in posterior part. Black-brown spots consisting of dark hairs on both sides of anterior part of abdomen (Figs 6, 8, 13). Chelicerae dark brown, densely covered with hairs, masticatory plates and sternum light brown to dark brown; underside of abdomen black (Figs 7, 14). Femora with faint grey spots (shading), other segments yellow-brown (Figs 6–7, 13–14). Tarsi and partially metatarsi with scopulae. Male palps reddish-brown, cymbium without claws. Tegular apophysis almost rectangular, its medial edge with semicircular notch (Figs 10–12). Epigyne relatively small, with deltoid contour. Copulatory ducts relatively short and twisted, spermathecae small and spherical, with relatively thick walls (Figs 15–18).

The total of 111 spider species Araneae and 7 harvestmen species Opiliones were recorded. The most interesting species recorded during the study is a rare spider species – Talavera aperta, reported in Poland only from some localities, as well as 4 species regarded as endangered in Poland (status VU): Mecynargus foveatus, Drassyllus praeficus, Ozyptila scabricula, Xysticus luctator. Moreover, the localities of several species rare in Poland such as Silometopus reussi, Styloctetor stativus, Zelotes electus, Ozyptila claveata were found. keY WorDs: spiders, harvestmen, Lednicki Landscape Park, Wielkopolski etnographic Park Robert Rozwałka, Katarzyna Renn, Paweł Sienkiewicz PająKi ArAneAe i KoSaRze OpiliOnes LednicKiego PaRKu KRajobRazowego (i) Spiders Araneae and harvestmen Opiliones of the Lednicki Landscape Park

Host insects were collected from six sites differing in the level of plant cover and humidity. It was proved that the level to which Carabidae were parasitized by eugregarines was significantly influenced by the plant cover of the land. The Carabidae way of feeding was a less important factor influencing the prevalence. Large size zoophages and hemizoophages were parasitized at higher level than small zoophages.

Fifty weevil species have been recorded from new localities in Poland. They belong to four families: Anthribidae (1), Apionidae (6), Nanophyidae (2) and Curculionidae (41). The new records, 124 in all, are from 64 UTM squares (10×10 km) in 17 of 24 regions of Poland, according to the division adopted from the Catalogus Faunae Poloniae issued in 1971-2000. Nearly half of them (57) are first records for a region. The largest numbers of the new records are from the Małopolska Upland (13), the Pomeranian Lakeland (8), Upper Silesia (7) and the Wielkopolsko-Kujawska Lowland (5). Kyklioacalles navieresi (boh.) has been recorded from Poland for the first time, whereas K. roboris (Curtis) has been deleted from the Polish list, following verification of its single literature record from the Radęcin Reserve. The current range expansions of nine of these newly recorded species are discussed. The range bo...
