AbstractTwo species of Spilogona, S. angustigena sp. n. and S. tatrica sp. n., are described from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, respectively. Both species are characterised by a gynaecomorphic shape of the male head, i.e., by a broad frons and the presence of a pair of orbital setae. Three species with this type of head are already known in the Palaearctic region: S. karelica (Tiensuu, 1935) from Russian Karelia, S. lapponica (Ringdahl, 1932) occurring in Norway and Sweden and redescribed here from material collected recently in Russia and Sweden, and S. spinicosta (Stein, 1907) from Tibet. All five species are compared and a new identification key is given. Apart from the external similarity of the male heads, the species under study are hardly closely related and their dichoptic heads may be explained as a homoplasy among similar ecomorpha.

Two new species of Jungiella Vaillant, 1972 are described: Jungiella janiki sp. nov. from the Bílé Karpaty PLA (Czech Republic) and J. syriaca sp. nov. from the Province Al Lathiqiyeh (Syria). Differential diagnoses for males are included and morphological characters illustrated. A catalogue of 37 species of Jungiella known so far is presented.

A new species of Mycetophilidae (Diptera), Acomopterella martinovskyi sp. n., is described from the Czech Republic and Austria. This is the first record of the genus from the Palaearctic region. Its relationships with other genera and variation in wing characters are briefly discussed. A new combination and synonymy is proposed: Acomopterella fallax (Sherman, 1921) comb.n. = Acomopterella arnaudi Zaitzev, 1989 syn.n.

Pezothrips nadeshiko n. sp. is described from Dianthus superbus var. longicalycinus at Honshu, Japan and P. pelikani n. sp. is described from Czech Republic. A lectotype is designated for P. frontalis (Uzel), the type species of this genus, and this species is re-described. An illustrated identification key to the world species of Pezothrips is also provided.

Euphrasia coerulea Tausch (1834a: 445) was described based on specimens from the Isergebirge (now Jizerské hory Mountains in the Czech Republic) in the Western Sudetes. The species occurs in Central Europe, in the Hercynian and Carpathian provinces (Smejkal 1963: distribution map). The name E. coerulea was validated by Tausch (1834a: 445) by means of the shortest possible diagnosis: ‘ganz blaue Blumen’ as opposed to the white flowers characterizing E. officinalis var. alpestris Günther et al. (1824: 164) with which Tausch compared his new species. Junger and Engler (Junger 1867), followed by Kerner (1881: 44), Wettstein (1894: 95, 1896: 115), and Smejkal (1963: 28), considered E. coerulea as a nomen nudum, but acknowledged that it was published in Synopsis Florae Germanicae et Helveticae (Koch 1837: 546). They illegitimately renamed the species E. uechtritziana Junger & Engler (Junger 1867: 141), with “E. coerulea Tausch (pl. sel. Boh.) Koch’s Syn. etc. (1837)” cited in synonymy.

Two new species of Heleomyzidae are described. Heleomyza kovali sp. nov. is described based on material from the Czech Republic and Crimea and differs from other European Heleomyza species by the structure of male genitalia. Eccoptomera nevrlyi sp. nov. is described based on two males from Jeseníky Mts. and Šumava Mts. (Czech Republic) and differs from the most similar species, E. ornata Loew, 1862, by the hind femur having a distinct subbasal protuberance with a tuft of short setae and by the structure of male genitalia. The extreme rarity of both species is discussed.

Nearctic aphid Cinara splendens (Gillette and Palmer, 1924) was collected on ornamental Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in South Bohemia in 2009. It was the first record of this species in the Palaearctic region. The aim of this research was to study the bionomy of this species in Central Europe and to make descriptions of all available morphs, as previous morphological descriptions of C. splendens appeared to be incomplete. Six monitoring sites of this species were established in South Bohemia and were then regularly attended in the period of 2009–2019. The colonies of C. splendens were observed; its natural enemies and honeydew users were also registered. Aphids were collected for the microscope slide preparation, followed by the evaluation of thirty of the basic quantitative and seven qualitative morphological characteristics. Partial sequences of mitochondrial COI and nuclear EF-1α were used to confirm morphology-based identification and to compare samples from the Czech Republic with those of North American origin. Cinarasplendens survived successfully under new ecological conditions, but its population density remained quite low, except for 2009 and 2019, due to a synergistic effect of the dry weather and very high population density of the adelgid Gilletteella coweni (Gillette, 1907), which is a key pest of Douglas fir in the Czech Republic. The principle predators were coccinellid beetles, while the aphidophagous hover flies were less abundant. Together with a weak ability to migrate due to a low number of alate viviparous females in population, C. splendens cannot be a potential pest of P. menziesii in Central Europe.

Two new species of Campoletis Förster (Ichneumonidae: Campopleginae) are described: Campoletis katalinarum sp. nov. from Georgia and Turkey, and Campoletis margaritae sp. nov. from Romania and Armenia. Affixes to the identification key of the most recent revision of the genus are given. Additionally, contributing to the knowledge on biogeographical distribution of several species of the genus, 27 new records of 14 Campoletis species are reported, representing first records for 12 countries in the Palaearctic region.

A revision of material from the stored product pest collection of the Research Institute of Crop Production, Prague, was carried out. While so far five species of Trogoderma (all synanthropic) have been known from the Czech Republic, the revision revealed two new species and two new stored product pests for the Czech Republic: T. longisetosum and T. variabile. A key to determine T. longisetosum and T. glabrum is given. Faunistic records of the former quarantine species T. granarium are listed.
