Blaniulus guttulatus

Description

Blaniulus guttulatus (Fabricius, 1798)

MATERIAL EXAMINED. 9 ♂♂, 11 ♀♀, Republic of Belarus, Minsk, Krasivyi lane, among household waste, 14.07.2019, leg. et det. A.M. Ostrovsky.

DISTRIBUTION. A western Palaearctic species widespread across most of Europe, ranging from the Canary and Azores islands, Portugal, Iceland, Ireland and Great Britain in the west to Poland, Ukraine, and the central and northwestern parts of European Russia in the east; also introduced to Canada, U.S.A., St. Helena, Tristan da Cunha and Norfolk islands [Kime, Enghoff, 2017]. In the European part of Russia, it has been recorded from the Kaliningrad, Moscow and Leningrad areas, and the Perm Province [Lokšina, 1969; Atlavinytė, Lokšina, 1971; Zalesskaja et al., 1982; Andersson et al., 2008; Spuòìis, 2010; Kime, Enghoff, 2017; Kozminykh, 2018].

The above four myriapod species are formally new to the fauna of Belarus. All of them have been found in the city of Minsk and all seem to be associated with synanthropic habitats. During my survey of the Minsk myriapod fauna, the following species have also been recorded: Lithobius (L.) forficatus (Linnaeus, 1758), L. (Monotarsobius) curtipes C.L. Koch, 1847, Polydesmus denticulatus C.L. Koch, 1847, Proteroiulus fuscus (Am Stein, 1857) and Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus (Wood, 1864).
