Review of literature data as well as new distributional records of the relict and endangered saproxylic tineid moth Scardia boletella (Fabricius, 1794) in Poland are presented. Unpublished museal data from 1954 to 1963 and own observations from 1988 to 2014, mainly from Bieszczady Mts, East Beskid, Masurian Lake District, Białowieża Forest and Podl...

Morphological descriptions of two new species of the genus Navicula Bory sensu str. are given. Navicula gannae Vishnjakov sp. nov. demonstrates relations to N. viridulacalcis Lange-Bertalot, and N. hangaica Vishnjakov, Kulikovskiy, Genkal & Dorofeyuk sp. nov. belongs to the species complex around N. menisculus Shumann — N. upsaliensis (Grunow) Pera...
The oribatid mite genus Dorycranosus (Oribatida, Liacaridae) is recorded for the first time from the Neotropical region. One new species, Dorycranosus grenadaensis sp. nov. is described from ferns and mosses near lake in the forest of Grenada (Antilles). The new species differs from Dorycranosus shipitsyni (Ermilov, Rybalov & Kemal, 2011) by the bo...
During the field research conducted in 2022 on the distribution of beetles in NW and W Poland two specimens of Lichenophanes varius (IllIGer, 1801) ware found: one specimen in Gryfino [VV60] within the Pomeranian Lake District and another one in Poznań [XU20] within the Wielkopolska-Kujawy Plain. Species is very rare in Poland and is included in th...

... Just like in the whole subfamily, this feeding habit is also observed in other genera of Scardiinae, including Holarctic Scardia Treitschke and Montescardia Amsel, with nearly ten and three species known, respectively. The biology of the red-listed species Scardia boletella F. has been especially well documented (e.g., Bury et al. 2014), and ecological studies on this species have been also carried out (Jonsell et al. 1998;Jonsell and Nordlander 2002;Fritz 2004). The Scardiinae comprise another saproxylic species-Vespitinea gurkharum Robinson and Carter, from Brunei, where a remarkable example of wasp mimicry was recorded (Robinson and Carter 1989). ...
Larvae of surprisingly many Lepidoptera species depend on dead wood and wood-decay fungi and are thus considered saproxylic insects. This interesting group has been scientifically neglected for many years, and few studies have been conducted concerning its biology, taxonomy, distribution, and ecology. Merely several dozen species of saproxylic Lepidoptera are known from North European countries; however, the highest species diversity is observed in tropical forests, where only some studies on this group have been so far conducted. This chapter provides an overview of knowledge about the diversity of saproxylic Lepidoptera, based on the world subject literature published over the last century. The greatest species richness of saproxylic Lepidoptera has been identified within two families: Tineidae and Oecophoridae, but a number of other lineages of Lepidoptera also include saproxylic taxa. All Lepidoptera families known to contain saproxylic species are described here in systematic order. Examples of saproxylic species and genera are presented, and some aspects of their biology and ecology are discussed. Major threats to these insects, related to forest management, are briefly outlined. The needs and directions for further research on saproxylic Lepidoptera are highlighted.
Area of the Beskid Niski Landscape Park is a unique place in terms of the occurrence of rare and protected fungi. To the most valuable species found in this area belongs Hericium erinaceus and Hydnellum concrescens – fungi under strict protection, also considered as endangered species in country and in Polish Carpathians. Valuable are also considered as extinct Phellodon confluens, and endangered Bankera violascens, Cyphella digitalis, Mucronella calva and very rare in Poland Pluteus pellitus. In total, in Beskid Niski Landscape Park 108 species under protection, rare and endangered were found. The vast and varied area of described Park probably hides many interesting taxons. It is estimated that 426 species, which have been found to this day in Beskid Niski Landscape Park is about 50% of the actual state. Therefore, further research are necessary in terms of frequency of observations, other terms and systematic groups which have not been studied yet, for example Agaricus, Collybia, Cortinarius, Entoloma, Hygrocybe, Inocybe and Tricholoma.
