Abstract:

In the middle flow region of Neman River, Belarus, 34 species of water bugs have been found to occur. The commonest species observed is Micronecta griseola HORV., followed by Gerris lacustris (L.), Ilycoris cimicoides (L.) and Sigara falleni (FIEB.). Five species have been recorded as new to Belarus: Micronecta griseola, Sigara fallenoidea HUNG., Notonecta maculata FABR., Velia saulii TAM. and Gerris thoracicus SCHUMM. From the River Neman proper, 24 water bug species have been reported, 25 in old river beds, 23 in larger tributaries, 12 in small tributaries and 8 in each type of water body, intermittent and others. Strong relations between the faunas of Heteropteraof Neman River and its old river beds as well as larger tributaries are emphasized.
