| Description | The research of aquatic and semiaquatic bugs (Heteroptera: Nepomorpha, Gerromorpha) of Rolavská vrchoviště raised bogs (western part of Krušné hory Mts., northwestern Bohemia, Czech Republic) was performed over 2005-2008. Because of large wetland habitat diversity and especially because of well preserved raised bogs in the area studied, altogether 21 species of water bugs were recorded. In the bug community, euryoecious species and species preferring higher altitudes were dominant. The most valuable aquatic bug community with rare tyrphophilous species was found on raised bogs of Velké jeřábí jezero and Velký močál National Nature Reserves. The very unique locality for Corixidae was Lieche (= Rolavský rybník pond), where rare species from dystrophic and oligotrophic waters (especially Sigara scotti (Douglas & Scott, 1868) and S. semistriata (Fieber, 1848)) were recorded. For Sigara scotti, this is the first reliable record and confirmation of its occurrence in the Czech Republic. |
