Abstract: Distributional data on 20 species of Ciidae from the Czech Republic are presented. The occurrence of Orthocis coluber (Abeille de Perrin, 1874) and O. juglandis (Reitter, 1885) in the Czech Republic is confirmed. The recent occurrence of Hadraule elongatula (Gyllenhal, 1827) in Bohemia, and Cis fissicornis Mellié, 1849, C. quadridens Mellié, 1849, Ennearthron palmi Lohse, 1966, E. pruinosulum (Perris, 1864), and Ropalodontus novorossicus Reitter, 1901 in Moravia is documented. Orthocis perrisi (Abeille de Perrin, 1874) and O. linearis (J. R. Sahlberg, 1901) are newly recorded from the Czech Republic. Ennearthron reitteri (Flach, 1882) is reported from the Czech Republic for the second time.

Roman BorovecRevision of the genus Euonychus, with descriptions of a new genus Wanatius and three new species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae: Cneorhinini)Klapalekiana 59(1–2): 21-40

Abstract: Four species of the genus Euonychus Marshall, 1923 are described or redescribed and illustrated, two species are described as new: E. gironduqueae sp. nov. and E. modestus sp. nov., both from South Africa, Limpopo and Free State. Wanatius gen. nov. with one new species, W. longisetis sp. nov. from Namibia is described, illustrated, and compared with related genera. The taxonomic position of both genera is discussed. Male and female genitalia of Euonychus are studied and illustrated for the first time.

Roman BorovecDimorphophthalmus, a new genus of the tribe Oosomini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae) from the South African Eastern CapeKlapalekiana 59(1–2): 41-49

Abstract: A new genus of Oosomini, Dimorphophthalmus gen. nov., is described for a new species D. cata sp. nov. collected in the Eastern Cape. The taxonomically important structures are described and illustrated. The taxonomic position and relationship of the genus is discussed.

Jiří Hejkal & Vladimír SkoupýZabrus (Pelor) mahmuzensis sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from northern TurkeyKlapalekiana 59(1–2): 51-57

Abstract: Zabrus (Pelor) mahmuzensis sp. nov. from northern Turkey is described, figured, and compared with similar Turkish species of the subgenus Pelor Bonelli, 1810. The new species occurs at low altitude (ca. 500 m a.s.l.) in the Samsun province.

Vladimír Hemala & Petr KmentFirst record of Acrosternum heegeri (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in SlovakiaKlapalekiana 59(1–2): 59-63

Abstract: The first record of Acrosternum heegeri Fieber, 1861 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae: Nezarini) from Slovakia is presented. The presence of adults of both sexes as well as larvae indicates a probable viable population in Ivanka pri Dunaji (southern Slovakia). The species was most probably introduced to Slovakia from Hungary, where a viable population of A. heegeri was discovered in 2015–2016.

Petr Kozel & Michaela HelclováThe first record of the longhorn beetle Trichoferus pallidus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from South BohemiaKlapalekiana 59(1–2): 65-66

Abstract: The first record of Trichoferus pallidus (Olivier, 1790) from South Bohemia (Czech Republic) is reported.

David Král, Vítězslav Kubáň & David SommerOccurrence of Aphodius fimetarius (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae) in SlovakiaKlapalekiana 59(1–2): 67-72

Abstract: The confirmed occurrence of Aphodius fimetarius (Linnaeus, 1758) in Slovakia is presented. Previously published data from Slovakia under the name A. fimetarius most likely refer to A. pedellus (De Geer, 1774).

Martin Novák, Pavel Jakubec & Jan RůžičkaKlíč k larvám mrchožroutů České republiky (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Silphinae: Silphini)Klapalekiana 59(1–2): 73-83

Abstract: The tribe Silphini is a small group of beetles, with 13 extant species currently known from the Czech Republic, which despite the group's common name (large carrion beetles), have various diets and lifestyles. While the morphology of the adult stages is well known, the descriptions of larvae and their instars are mostly outdated, inaccurate, or even absent. There is however a growing demand for new information, as the larvae of some species can be utilised in crime investigations within forensic entomology. We have reviewed all the available literature regarding species relevant for the Czech Republic and revised it based on comparison with available larval specimens. As a result, we have compiled the most accurate dichotomous key to larvae of the tribe Silphini to-date. The key can be used for species identification and, for the first time, for instar determination as well.

Pavel PrůdekFirst records of Silvanoprus cephalotes (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) from SlovakiaKlapalekiana 59(1–2): 84-84

Abstract: Silvanoprus cephalotes (Reitter, 1876) is reported for the first time from Slovakia and Central Europe.

Svatopluk Rychlý, Hana Orsagová, Pavel Tóth, Věra Košťálová, Ladislav Prečan & Jakub BeránekFirst record of Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the Czech Republic, and Humulus lupulus as its new secondary host in EuropeKlapalekiana 59(1–2): 85-90

Abstract: The Asian apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Matsumura, 1917) (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) is native to eastern Asia and its primary host plants include several Prunus spp. In Europe, it was first detected in Italy in 2016, followed by later records from Hungary and Serbia. In 2020, this apricot pest was found for the first time in the Czech Republic. Since then, colonies of M. mumecola have been observed on apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca) which are known to be one of its primary host plant species, in different parts of the country. Spring populations induced curling and discoloration of apricot leaves. Despite the assumption that the species is dicyclic, the secondary host of M. mumecola in Europe was not known until now. In 2022, alate females and colonies of nymphs were first observed on hops (Humulus lupulus), both wild and in hop gardens, at several locations in the Czech Republic. Therefore, hop is reported here for the first time as a secondary host plant of M. mumecola in Europe.
