Berytinus (Berytinus) hirticornis hirticornis (Brullé, 1836)

Berytus hirticornis: Smreczyński 1906b: 53, 1908: 71 ; Scholz 1931: 155.

Berytus trichocerus: Scholtz 1847: 151 .

Range element (for all subspecies together): Kirghisian- Atlantic.

Bionomics: Mesophilous/xerotermophilous; polyphagous; one generation a year.

R e m a r k s: Very rare in Poland.

Identification of the specimens (deposited in the Museum of Natural History ISEA PAS in Kraków) from Rząska (Krakowsko- Wieluńska Upland) and from Przemyśl (Western Beskidy Mts), was verified and confirmed.

This species is known only from very old records in our country, moreover it is a very rare species in the territory of Slovakia and unknown in Moravia (Stehlík & Vavřínová 1995), therefore its occurrence in Poland needs confirmation.
