This paper presents data on 23 beetle species recorded for the first time from the Białowieża Forest (Polish part), and among them two species new for the fauna of Poland. All the beetles were collected using multifunnel (Lindgren) traps, placed in the the selected sites of the study area in 2018. Collected species belong to 13 families: Carabidae (1 species), Corylophidae (1), Curculionidae (1), Dermestidae (1), Elateridae (2), Eucnemidae (1), Laemophloeidae (1), Latridiidae (2), Nitidulidae (1), Ptinidae (3), Staphylinidae (7), Throscidae (1) and Trogossitidae (1). Episernus angulicollis C. G. Thomson, 1863 and E. tatarinovae Toskina et Nikitsky, 2003 (Ptinidae) are recorded for the first time from Poland, and Microrhagus pyrenaeus Bonvouloir, 1872 (Elateridae) and Leptusa norvegica Strand, 1941 (Staphylinidae), for the second time. Distribution of all the above species in Poland is briefly discussed and details on the biology of some of them are given. An identification key for the species of the genus Episernus C. G. Thomson, 1863 from Central Europe is presented. Species diversity of beetles in the Polish part of Białowieża Forest is estimated based on published data.

The paper presents new data on the occurrence of 69 beetle species collected in 2017 in the Białowieża Forest, NE Poland. The list contains representatives of 27 families: Anthribidae, Bostrichidae, Ciidae, Cleridae, Coccinellidae, Corylophidae, Cryptophagidae, Curculionidae, Dasytidae, Elateridae, Endomychidae, Eucnemidae, Histeridae, Laemophloeidae, Latridiidae, Leiodidae, Lycidae, Melandryidae, Mycetophagidae, Ptinidae, Ripiphoridae, Salpingidae, Staphylinidae, Tenebrionidae, Tetratomidae, Throscidae, and Zopheridae. The majority of the species represents saproxylic, i.e. dead wood-dependent, beetles. Biology and distribution of some rarely recorded species are briefly discussed. All species are reported for the first time from the Białowieża Forest and, furthermore, Corticaria crenicollis Mannerheim, 1844 (Latridiidae) is new for the fauna of Poland.

Distributional data for 10 species of Peltidae, Lophocateridae, Trogossitidae and Thymalidae recorded from Poland are summarised, and numerous unpublished records are reported. Data on feeding and habitat preferences are analysed. Calitys scabra and Temnoscheila caerulea are probably extinct in Poland. Grynocharis oblonga, Nemozoma elongatum and Tenebroides mauritanicus are relatively common in Poland. Nemozoma caucasicum is currently spreading within Europe and several new records in Poland are reported. Peltis ferruginea, P. grossa, and Thymalus limbatus are restricted to natural forests in Poland, where they are sometimes abundant. We suggest adding Peltis ferruginea and Thymalus limbatus to the Polish Red List of Animals. The opinion that Grynocharis oblonga and Tenebroides mauritanicus are relicts of natural forests does not seem justified.

Pollinator foraging behavior plays a key role in breeding and therefore affects the evolution of the orchid reproductive strategy. Food-deceptive orchids usually implement a generalized plant pollination strategy and a relatively diverse group of pollinators visit them. Dactylorhiza majalis is a food-deceptive, early-flowering orchid that relies on insect-mediated pollination. This study’s objectives were to identify D. majalis’ pollinators and flower visitors and their foraging behaviors on D. majalis inflorescences. We also assessed the bending movement time to determine the relationship between bending time and the duration of pollinators’ visits. To assess pollination efficiency, we measured the spur length of D. majalis flowers, which is expected to affect the mechanical fit to pollinators/“potential” pollinators. The arthropod fauna were investigated to examine the availability of “potential” pollinators in populations. We identified Apis mellifera as this orchid’s main pollinator and confirmed that few of the flower visitors belonged to Diptera (12 individuals, 9 taxa), Hymenoptera (3 individuals, 3 taxa), or Coleoptera (2 individuals, 2 taxa) in our dataset, which was collected over a 2-year period and includes 360 h of video. The arthropods were collected by a sweep net in D. majalis populations and there were fewer Hymenoptera (2.9–23.2%) and Coleoptera (4.4–23.8%) visitors but more Diptera (23.3–58.6%) visitors. We found that A. mellifera foraged in different ways on D. majalis inflorescences, thereby resulting in cross-pollination and/or geitonogamy; however, the bending time data supported the hypothesis about promoting cross-pollination while decreasing self-pollination, but these data do not exclude the possibility of geitonogamy.

This paper reviews the lower-ranked taxa within the species Plagionotus arcuatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and describes a new subspecies P. arcuatus shirazensis based on specimens from Iran. Some comments are made on the morphology of the subspecies, and a key, together with an exhaustive photographic documentation, is provided for their identification. The distribution ranges of these various taxa are discussed and basic biological information on all the subspecies is given. We explain our opposition to the subspecies Plagionotus arcuatus tastani Özdikmen, Atak & Uçkan, 2017, and have accordingly synonymized it with the nominative subspecies.

Elytral apices jointly rounded, not spiniform. Ventral side of apical margins finely denticulate. Elytral pubescence yellowish-brown, short, recumbent or semierect, on the sides and truncation somewhat longer (on truncation exclusively erect and slightly thicker). Ventral side blackishbrown, barely pubescent (only on the sides of prothorax and—especially—metaventrite longer setulae are more conspicuous). Hind margins of sternites paler. Legs brownish-red. Outer edge of protibiae finely denticulate, with single large terminal dent bent at almost right angle outwards; inner edge more densely pubescent and ending with very large hooked dent. Tarsi longer than tibiae, laterally flattened, seemingly 4-jointed: basal joint extremely small, barely discernible, closely attached to normally sized second; distal joints with pairs of large claws. Diagnosis. Females of X. bidasi n. sp. are smaller than X. cornifrons (Baudi) (min. 14.5 mm) but larger than X. laticornis (Lesne) (max. 9 mm), easily distinguishable from other species by a conspicuous furrow between elevated outgrowths at the hind margins of the eyes: no such furrow occurs in any other representative of the genus. In shape of these outgrowths the new species resembles rather X. cornifrons than X. laticornis, in which they form transverse, narrowly separated carinulae. A significant characteristic distinguishing X. bidasi n. sp. from X. cornifrons is a finely transversely rugose frontal surface with fine separate setulae in the former as compared to a coarsely punctured surface with tufts of golden setae in the latter. Additionally in the new species elytral apices are not spiniformly prolonged (Fig. 14) like in X. cornifrons, resembling rather X. laticornis, whose females, however, have all tarsomeres covered with very long erect setae, whereas in X. bidasi n. sp. long semierect setae occur only on basal joints. Male X. bidasi n. sp. are smaller than X. cornifrons (Baudi) (min. 13 mm), but larger than X. laticornis (Lesne) (max. 9 mm). In colouration it resembles X. cornifrons, being totally different from the yellowish-brown to pale brown males of X. laticornis. The best diagnostic character of X. bidasi n. sp. is emargination of the anterior margin of epistome: very deep triangular in the new species (Fig. 17), shallow and arcuate in other representatives of the genus (Figs 18–19). Elytral apices, jointly rounded in contrast to spiniform in X. cornifrons, are somewhat similar to those in X. laticornis, the males of which, however, differ in having the entire body (including the tarsi) covered with very long erect setae. Etymology. The name is proposed to honour our colleague, the excellent beetle-collector, Marek Bidas (Kielce, Poland) on the occasion of his retirement. Bionomy. The species has been collected mainly in dry forest steppe and semidesertic areas of the Zagros Mts. (Figs 20–21). Imagines have been reared in June and July from Pistacia sp. branches, 1–1.5 cm. in diameter, collected in April and May—considering these specimens as well as those collected in the field, it can be supposed that the maximum swarming occurs in June., Published as part of Jerzy, Borowski, Andrzej, Lasoń & Marek, Sławski, 2021, Remarks on Xylomedes Lesne, 1902 with description of a new species from Iran (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae, Apatinae), pp. 291-300 in Zootaxa 4941 (2) on pages 292-298, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4941.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/4595109

Ca. 400 new records of Cerylonidae in Poland is reported. The only record of Cerylon bescidicum in Poland was based on misidentification and the species should not be included on lists of beetles of Poland. Cerylon fagi, C. ferrugineum, and C. histeroides are common in Poland, C. deplanatum and C. impressum are rare but known from localities in various regions of Poland, and Philothermus evanescens is rare, and seems to be restricted to well preserved forests.

The genus Meligethinus Grouvelle, 1906 represents a small group of pollen beetles, including some twenty species distributed from southern Palaearctic areas to northern Oriental and Afrotropical regions. All constituent species appear to be strictly associated as larvae and adults to male inflorescences of palms (Monocots: Arecaceae). Two new species of this genus (Meligethinus mondlanei sp. nov. and M. hamerlae sp. nov.) were recently discovered in southern Mozambique, and are described herein. Both are associated as larvae with male inflorescences of the widespread eastern African palm Phoenix reclinata Jacq. The two new species are compared with related taxa from central Africa. Additionally, the presence of additional species of the same genus in southern Mozambique is reported, and the local associations of several Meligethinus species are discussed.

During recent expeditions in North and Southwest Iran, 10 species of Kateretidae and Nitidulidae (Coleoptera) were found. One species of Kateretidae, Brachyleptus bicoloratus Reitter, 1896, and three nitidulid species, Afrogethes schilskyi (Reitter, 1897), Stachygethes khnzoriani (Kirejtshuk, 1979), and S. nigerrimus (Rosenhauer, 1856) are recorded for the first time for the Iranian fauna (the latter is also a new record for Asia). Thymogethes ahriman (Jelínek, 1981) is herein resurrected to species rank, and two species, Thymogethes kassites sp. nov. and T. khorasanicus sp. nov., are described as new. An updated key to the known Near East and Afghan species of the genus Thymogethes Audisio & Cline, 2009 is also provided. Available and recently collected biological and distributional data, as well as short taxonomic comments, are given for the discussed species.

research, This paper updates our present knowledge on the geographical distribution and host plant relationships of Turkish species of the sap- and pollen-beetle family Nitidulidae. Priazenobia Jelínek, 1997 from eastern Mediterranean areas is synonymized with Pria angustula Cooper, 1982, from South Africa (syn. nov.). The unknown ovipositor of Xerogethes osellai Audisio Jelínek, 2000, a species endemic to central Turkey, is described, and the first information on its biology is reported. Glischrochilus quadripunctatus(Linnaeus, 1758)(Tunceli Province) and Pityophagus quercus Reitter, 1877 (Balikesir Province) are first recorded for the Turkish fauna.The distributions of Glischrochilus hortensis (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785), Soronia grisea (Linnaeus, 1758),Brassicogethes cristofaroi(Audisio De Biase, 2005), Stachygethes zarudnyi (Kirejtshuk, 1984), S. assimilis (Sturm, 1845), Sagittogethes biondii (Audisio, 1988), and S. hoffmanni (Reitter, 1871) are updated. The previously unknown larval host plants of other Turkish and Balkan Meligethinae are identified, and Clypeogethes chlorocyaneus (Jelínek Audisio, 1977) is first reported from Greece. Finally, a new updated checklist of the Turkish Nitidulidae is presented.

Glischrochilus (Librodor) forcipatus (Fairmaire, 1889) has been known from the single holotype which could not be dissected, so that the status of the species remained doubtful. New specimens of G. forcipatus, recently collected after ca. 120 years, are redescribed and compared with related species G. (L.) japonius (Motschulsky, 1857), G. (L.) jelineki Lasoń, 2009 and G. (L.) parvipustulatus (Kolbe, 1886). Validity of G. forcipatus is confirmed and key for identification of the similar species is given.

A new species of Epuraea, Epuraea sutcuimamun Avgm, Lasoń & Audisio sp. n., from southern Turkey (Taurus Chain) was identified using morphological analyses. This species is a member ofa circum—Mediterranean endemic group of sap beetles, the Epuraea latipes species group of the Dadopora lineage, which are mostly associated with cedar (Cedrus spp.) forests. Herein, the new species is described, the previously unknown association of the little-known Epuraea subparallela Grouvelle 1896 with meso-xerophilous oaks is reported, and some new records from southern Turkey (Taurus Chain) are listed for the latter species (previously only known from the Nur Mts. in SE Turkey, Osmaniye and Iskenderun provinces). An identification key to species of Dadopora lineage is also provided. Finally, the main palaeogeographic events affecting the Miocene to Holocene dispersal and evolution of species/populations of the Dadopora lineage on cedars and oaks, and the coincident distributional dynamics of Western Palaearctic Cedrus populations throughout the Mediterranean Basin, are discussed.
