Description

Dichrooscytus gustavi differs from D. rufipennis and D. intermedius primarily by a smaller size of the body and the entirely green scutellum. Its occurrence has been confirmed so far in more than ten European countries, where it was reported to live on Juniperus communis L. and also on different introduced species of Cupressaceae. In this note the first locality of this species in Poland is presented. Moreover, the authors explain a reason why D. valesianus [= at present D. gustavi] was removed from the list of species occurring in Poland (in the 2011’s Catalogue of Miridae of Poland), and suggest a possibility of the presence of D. gustavi in Poland as early as the first half of the 20th century (reported by Strawiński as D. valesianus).
