| Description | The material of biting midges collected during 2004 2007 in the Jizerske hory Mts and Frýdlant region was determined in given study. There were 27 localities divided following the data and the collecting method into 91 samples. From the collected material of biting midges, 78 species were identified (Jizerské hory Mts 73 species, Frýdlant region 31 species). From the zoogeographical view, the Palaearctic species prevaluated (58 spp.) followed by Holarctic species (18 spp.) and Neotropical (2 spp.). The most effective collecting method seems to be the Malaise traps followed by sweeping. There are nine species reported from the territory of the Czech Republic for the first time: Atrichopogon (Lophomyidium) fusculus (Coquillett, 1901), Atrichopogon (Psammopogon) flaveolus Ziláhi-Sebess, 1936, Brachypogon (Isohelea) incompletus (Kiefer, 1925), Dasyhelea (Prokempia) lutea Remm, 1968, Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) lugubris (Zetterstedt, 1855), Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) sphagnophila Kieffer, 1925 Neurohelea luteitarsis Waltl, 1837, Palpomyia globulifera Remm, 1971 a Palpomyia spinipes (Panzer, 1806), two of which had been already published elsewhere (Tóthová & Knoz 2006). Eight other species were reported from the historical territory of Bohemia for the first time: Dasyhelea (Dasyhelea) pallidiventris (Goetghebuer, 1831); Dasyhelea (Dasyhelea) septuosa Borkent, 1997; Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) nigrans Remm, 1962; Forcipomyia (Synthyridomyia) murina (Winertz, 1852); Palpomyia melacheira Remm, 1976; Palpomyia serripes (Meigen, 1818); Stilobezzia gracilis (Haliday, 1833) a Stilobezzia ochracea (Winnertz, 1852). Very interesting and important is the report of N. luteitarsis, what is the fifth report in Europe. The other interesting reports (description of two new species) and facts mentioned above support the uniqueness and importance of the study area. On the other hand, many of the commonly known species (Culicoides (Avaritia) obsoletus; Forcipomyia (F.) bipunctata; F. (F.) brevipennis; F. (F.) nigra etc.) were reported in few specimens. The most abundant species was Stilobezzia gracilis (122 spp.) followed by Atrichopogon (Meloehelea) lucorum (105 spp.). The most important localities in the light of the biting midge fauna are Bílý Potok [1], Meandry Smědé NR [12], Rašeliniště Jizerky NNR [21] and Rejdice [23]. |
