Rodzaj Hoplia Illiger, 1803 (Coleoptera, Melolonthidae) w Polsce. / Genus Hoplia Illiger, 1803 (Coleoptera, Melolonthidae) in Poland.
Abstract
The distribution of species of the genus Hoplia Ill. was analyzed, based on the materials from collections of various institutions and collectors. The occurence in Poland of H. philanthus (Fuessl.), H. praticola Duft., H. argentea (Poda), H. graminicola (F.), H. parvula Kryn. and H. subnuda Reitt. is confirmed; that of H. brunnipes Bon. and H. hungarica Burm. has not been confirmed. Key for the identification of the species discussed is provided.
... The examined material (vouchers) is deposited in the private collection of the author (Kaliningrad, Russia). The following literature sources were used for the species attribution: Machatschke (1969), Stebnicka (1976), Bunalski (1995), Frolov (1999Frolov ( , 2002, Ljungberg (2002), Kabakov (2006), Byk (2014), . ...
... It (-) H. (s. str.) hungarica Burmeister, 1844 Alekseev & Sakhnov 2000 (as H. subnuda Rtt., missidentification); Alekseev 2003 (missidentification). Comments: This is the southern species, whose range extends to southern Poland in the north (Bunalski 1995). ...
A check-list of scarabaeoid beetles (Lucanidae, Trogidae, Geotrupidae, Bolboceratidae and Scrabaeidae) of Kaliningrad Region (south-eastern Baltic Sea coast) is provided and briefly commented for each species. At present the list includes 98 species, from which 69 species are registered in the Region in last 30 years (Lucanidae – 6 spp., Trogidae – 2 spp., Geotrupidae – 4 spp., and Scrabaeidae – 57 spp.). Ten species (among them one representative of Ochodaeidae) are additionally listed between the potential faunal components. The samplings maps for 36 species are presented. Two species (Typhaeus typhoeus and Aphodius quadrimaculatus) earlier reported in the northern part of the former Eastern Prussia were excluded from the recent fauna of the Region. T. typhoeus should not to be catalogued as a member of Russian fauna, whereas the actually sampled in the Kaliningrad Region Aphodius porcus could be added to the fauna of the Central European Russian territories. Onthophagus taurus reaches in the Kaliningrad Region its known northern range limit, Aegialia arenaria occurs in the Region at the eastern periphery of distrubutional area, and four species (Lucanus cervus cervus, Copris lunaris, Gnorimus nobilis nobilis and Polyphylla fullo fullo) are in the Kaliningrad Region at northern or north-eastern periphery of main distributional area. The sampled in the research period species were grouped into eleven clusters according their regional distribution and abundance. Rare and threatened species were detected. The regional priority objects of conservation measurements for two main ecological risk groups (xylophagous and coprophagous) are discussed. Such species as Lucanus cervus and Gnorimus variabilis were considered “critically endangered”; Osmoderma barnabita and Ceruchus chrysomelinus belong to “endangered” at the regional level; Protaetia marmorata and Gnorimus nobilis were assigned to “vulnerable”. The regional priorities in protection of coprophagous biodiversity should be perhaps focused on the charismatic Copris lunaris and species of the genus Onthophagus (O. coenobita, O. gibbulus, O. taurus) as “flagship species” for the species-rich communities.
... Analiza materiału badawczego wykazała obecność 5 gatunków z rodzaju Hoplia. (BUNALSKI 1995), a w Ukrainie w regionach zachodnich i środkowych (MARTYNOV 2012). Zatem stanowiska białoruskie leżą znacznie poza północą granicą zasięgu gatunku. ...
New information concerning the distribution of the species from the genus Hoplia ILLIG. in Belarus (5 spp.) and Lithuania (1 sp.) have been provided. Hoplia (Hoplia) zaitzevi JAKOBS. is a new species to the Lithuanian fauna.
... W Polsce był notowany z wielu krain, głównie z terenów piaszczystych. Z Pobrzeża Bałtyku wykazywany wielokrotnie (KACZMAREK 1978, BUNALSKI 1995, BYK 1999. Podawany także ze Słowińskiego Parku Narodowego (CYKOWSKI 1979 a, b). ...
... Since then, it has spread continuously and has reached pest status in a large part of Flanders. Elsewhere in Europe, problems of H. philanthus are reported from Germany (Ehlers 2000), Poland (Bunalski 1995), Spain (Baraud 1992, Micó et al. 2003, The Netherlands (Vlug 2001), and the United Kingdom (Gratwick 1992). ...

We studied the adult behavior, oviposition, and larval and pupal development of Hoplia philanthus Füessly (Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) in the field and laboratory in Belgium. Adult emergence was observed in the first week of June 2000, 2001, and 2002, peaked ≈2 wk later, and continued until the last week of the month. The average sex ratio of emerging adults was 1.3:1 (male and females) during the collection period. Adults were observed feeding mainly on leaves of Betula utilis variety jacquemontii (B. u. Doorenbos) and Carpinus betulus L. During the day, H. philanthus adults were most active at 1400 hours (GMT + 1.00). Oviposition started in the last week of June and lasted until the end of July. Each female deposited ≈25–40 white eggs at a depth of 10–15 cm in soil. Eggs hatched 28 ± 5 d after being laid at an average monthly soil temperature of 18.1°C. Three larval instars could be discerned by head capsule width; all larval instars fed on grass roots. The first-instar larvae were found in the last week of July 2000; second instars appeared mostly in the second week of September 2000 and could be found until May 2001. Third instars were found from the second week of June 2001 until April 2002. Pupae could be found from the first week of May until the end of the month. The duration of the pupal stage was 28 ± 5 d at an average monthly soil temperature of 16.5°C. According to these observations, H. philanthus has a 2-yr life cycle.
On the basis of study of all accessible collection materials, personal collections of author conducted in all areas of Ukraine and critical analysis of information in scientific publications, on territory of Ukraine 260 species and subspecies of lamellicorn beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) related to 71 genera, 19 subfamilies and 7 families are revealed. Basis of fauna is made by the representatives of family of Scarabaeidae presented by 230 species from 54 genera. To the number of territories most perspective for further researches it is necessary to take the central areas of Ukraine, Carpathians and Transcarpathian region, Crimea.
A total of 118 species of beetles (Coleoptera) from 21 families were found from the end of May to the middle of September in Świnoujście (in 2002, 2004, 2005), Miédzyzdroje (2000) and in Wisełka (2004). The fauna was collected using Barber's pitfall traps, entomological scoop and collecting dead and alive specimens of beetles. Coleoptera were studied in the following habitats: 1 km along sandy beach, white dune with the plant community Elymo-Ammophiletum arenariae, and grey dune with the plant community Helichryso-Jasionetum litoralis. The most numerous beetle families were: Staphylinidae (23 species), Chrysomelidae (14 species), Coccinelidae (12 species), Curculionidae (11 species), Elateridae (10 species) and Scarabaeidae (9 species). The beetle assemblies of sandy beach and dunes included xerophilous, termophilous, halophilous and psammophilous species. The most interesting of them with respect to dunes and seaside beach were: Aegialia arenaria (Fabricius), Coccinella undecimpunctata Linnaeus, Coniocleonus hollbergi (Fahraeus), Hoplia parvula Krynicki, Hypocaccus metallicus (Herbst), Negastrius pulchellus (Linnaeus), Omonadus floralis (Linnaeus), Onthophagus taurus (Schreber), Otiorhynchus atroapterus (De Geer), Oxythyrea funesta (Poda), Philopedon plagiatus Schaller, Phylan gibbus (Fabricius), Sitona grisea (Fabricius), Typhaeus typhoeus (Linnaeus), Tytthaspis sedecimpunctata (Linnaeus), Xantholinus rhenanus Coiffait. Three species are placed in the Red List of Threatened Animals of Poland: Typhaeus typhoeus (Linnaeus) (NT - nearly threatened category), Hoplia parvula Krynicki (LC - least concern) and Otiorhynchus atroapterus (De Geer) (EN - endangered category).
