The paper gives records of Chrysis illigeri Wesmael, 1839, the species of rubytailed wasp (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) new from Poland. The species was not separated by many authors from Ch. bicolor Lepeletier, 1806, until recently. The characteristics for distinguishing of the two species are given, followed by the verified data of distribution in Poland. Both species seem to be widely distributed and quite common in Poland.
This article describes new localities of two extremely rare hymenopterans in Poland: Parnopes grandior (PALLAS, 1771) (Chrysididae) and Xylocopa valga GERSTAECKER, 1872 (Apidae), both classified as critically endangered (CR). Parnopes grandior was found in the Kozienice Forest (Słupica), while Xylocopa valga in the Bieszczady Mts (Polanczyk).
The paper gives records of Pseudomalus triangulifer (Abeille de Perrin, 1877), the new species of ruby-tailed wasp from Poland (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae). The species was not separated by many authors from P. auratus (Linnaeus, 1758) until recently. The characters for distinguishing of the two species are given, followed by the verified data of distribution in Poland. P. triangulifer (Abeille) seems to be widespread but rare in Poland.
The paper presents the record of Chrysis immaculata BUYSS., the species of ruby-tailed wasp (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) new from Poland. The species is similar to Chrysis fulgida LINNAEUS, 1761, common in Poland, and the characteristics for identification of the two species are given.
The paper presents information about chrysidid wasps known from the Kampinos National Park in Central Poland (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae). The specimens were collected with the use of Moericke traps during the years 2000-2006. The presence of 37 species was confirmed. Eighteen species are recorded for the first time from the Park. Among them 13 are new to the Mazovian Lowland: Chrysis angustula SCHENCK, Ch. clarinicollis Lins., Ch. corusca Valkeila, Ch. gracillima (FÖRST.), Ch. illigeri Wesm., Ch. impressa SCHENCK, Ch. iris Christ, Ch. mediata Lins., Ch. pseudobrevitarsis Lins., Ch. schencki Lins., Ch. solida Haupt, Hedychrum aureicolle niemelaei Lins., and Pseudomalus triangulifer (Ab.). Currently 46 species of the Chrysididae are known from the Kampinos National Park.
