INTRODUCTION
Thrips are inseels eonnecled elosely via food with many plant speeies and
rep-resenting various trophie groups. Henee, they eonstitute a eon stan t and lIsually quite numerously represented element of entomofauna of different plant com mu-nities. Due to their smali size, they are often lefi out in the entomologieal researeh, as a result of whieh, a degree to whieh their fauna has been sludied in the individ-ual regions of Poland, varies eonsiderably. So far, 217 speeies have been reeorded
in Poland, most of whieh have been found in xerothermie and meadow communi-ties of the central and eastem Poland [5]. Som e data on thrips from the Polesie were given in Sęezkowska [8]. The lalier author menlioned 26 speeies reeorded during her researeh on the fauna of trees and bushes of the Lublin voivodeship. Also, the results of researeh earried out in the Poleski National Park in 1994-1996

RESEARCH AREA AND METHODS
In the years 1994-1996, a systematic research covered peat-bog, meadow and forest communities in the Polesie National Park, its most valuable parts. In the "Western Polesie" Biosphere Reserve designed communities are in the foIIowing zones: (the Lukie Lake - the OrIowskie peat-bog), (the Moszne Lake - the Długie
Lake - the Durne Bagno peat-bog), (the Bagno Bubnów peat bog) and (the Bagno Bubnów peat bog - the Bagno Staw peat bog). [n 1998-ł 999, research was conti-nued on se-verallocalities in the Sobibór Landscape Park (Table
[l.
The insects were coIIected using methods most commonly used in entomo-logy. Entomological net was used alongside plant shaking in the undergrowth and ground cover. Dendrophylous insects were caught in Moericke traps hung in tre e-crowns where insects' sensitivity to certain colours, in this case - white, yeIIow, red and green, was taken advantage of [4]. In forests, litter was run through ento-mological sieves. The materia I coIIected was determined as belonging to a given species using Priesner's [6], and Schliepake and KIimt's keys [7]; in the ecologi-cal analysis, Strassen's paper [9] was used. The evidence material coIIected during research can be seen in the present authors' coIIections.
RESULTS
In the course ofresearch, 80 species ofthrips were recorded in the Polesie. To-gether with the species found previously by Sęczkowska, atotal num ber of thrips species in this region is 87 (40% of aII species noted in Poland) which means that the Thysanoptera fauna of this region is weII-researched in comparison to that of other regions (Table I). The num ber of species recorded in the sites depends on the num ber of sampłes taken as weII as diversity of plant communities occurring there. The highest num ber of Thysanoptera species was found in peat-bogs and forest areas surrounding the Dlugie Lake (54 species), the Moszne Lake (29 spe -cies) and the Bagno Bubnów peat bog (24). Slightly fewer species have been r c-corded from the Durne Bagno peat-bog, the Lukie Lake and the Jelino peat-bog (2 ł species in each), as weII as the Orłowskie peat-bog (20 species). Only 9 spe-cies were found in more than 10 or more sites. They were mostly eurytopie and polyphagous forms. More than half of aII the species recorded (57) were found in I or 2 sites only. This group was exemplified mainly by monophagous and oligo-phagous insects as well as stenotopic ones related to environments with high hu-midi ty, e.g.: Baliolhrips dispar, Belothrips acuminotus, B. morio, Pelikonolhrips

Mega/o/hrips bOlJlJani and Mega/hrips /a/iventris (Table I).
The thrips recorded so far in the Polesie fali into three families: Aeolothripidae
- 6 species, Thripidae - 59 species, and Phlaeothripidae - 22 species. They belong
to 6 ecological groups distinguished on the basis of food preferences and
microen-vironments of insects.
Zoophages are represented by 5 species from genus Aeolo/hrips where
preda-tory fom1s are their larvae. The most commonly found is the eurytopie Ae%/hrips
in/ermedius, and in forests and shrubs also Aeolo/hrips me/a/eLlcus. Most of the species recorded are phytophages of various degrees of dependence on their hOSI plan ts. The most numerous group is that of species feeding on herbaceous plants
flowers (floricolous - 31 species), among which there are very com mon and
nume-rous polyphages, e.g.: Frankiliella in/onsa, Thrips a/ra/lIs, rfllscipennis, T major, T
physaplIs, as well as 1110nophages found in drier places, e.g.: Pe=o/hrips dian/hii (very
rare), Hap/o/hripsjasionis, and H. /ellcan/hellli.
Among the species collected, 18 are foliicolous - connecled with the leaves of
herbaceous plants, trees and bushes. They were mostly found in Moericke's traps
hung in dwarf birches and pines growing on peat-bogs, as well as in the marshy
coniferous forests and woods surrounding them. In deciduOlIS trees, the most
fre-quently met species were Myc/ero/hrips consocia/lIs and Thrips lIlinu/issill1us,
while in the coniferous ones - Oxy/hrips ajugae and
o.
bic%r. Among very rare species in this group there are Hap/o/hrips u/ae, new to Poland and noted inGer-many as species connected with JunclIs; Lio/hrips aus/riacus - so far found only
on one site in Poland and Pelikano/hrips kra/och vi/i - observed only on 2 sites.
Fourteen of all species eolleeted are graminicolous. They feed in
inflores-cences, grass and sedge leaves. In peat-bogs, a common and numerous speeies
were eurytopie Cepha/o/hrips monilicornis and Hap/o/hrips aCII/ea/lIs, and
hygro-phy/ous Bolothrips dentipes, found quite frequently but always on individually. In mea-dows, forests and lagg communities, Anapho/hrips obscllrlls, Chiro/hrips lIlanicatus and Hap/o/hrips aCll/ea/lIs were the most frequently caught speeies. On 3 sites found Anapho/hrips badills. a rare speeies, typieal of water-Iogged habitats was found.
A Iso, a group of II herbicolous species - feeding and developing on
herba-eeous plants but showing no preferenee for any partieular part of the plants, was
identitied. This group eonsists of a common eurytopie and polyphagous species or
Thrips /abaci and Thrips /rehernei, as well as monophagous ones: Thrips lIr/icae

These are fairly large insects caught as single specimens_ This group co n

0]-CONCLUSION
Thysanoptera fauna of the Polish parl of Polesie is rather well known. 87
spe-cies has been recorded up to now, it is aboul 40% of thrips species known from
Poland. Among them ID species are regarded as very rare in Polish fauna_
Haplo/hrips lI/ae has been collected for the first time from our country_ Some of
thrips species were collected in the most interesting for Polesie stations, like
peat-bog plant communities, situated in the Polesie National Park_
Taking into account the food and living place preferences of ali collected
spe-cies they were considered to six ecological groups.

S t r e s z c z e n i e. Dute zróżnicowanie siedlisk oraz bogata szata roślinna Polesia sprawiły, że fauna Thysanoplera tego obszaru jest jedną z lepiej poznanych w porównaniu z innym regionami
kraju. Dotychczas wykazano stąd 87 gatunków wciornastków. Zaliczono je do 6 grup ekologicznych wydzielonych na podstawie preferencji poknrmowych oraz środowisk bytowania i rozwoju owadów. Ostatnie badania nie potwierdziły występowania 7 gatunków podawanych wcześniej przez Sęcz. kowską. Wśród nich znajduje się rzadki w skali kraju Thrips incognillls.
Najliczniej i najczęściej na badanym terenie notowano gatunki o szerokich zasięgach i dużej lO·
lerancji pokarmowej. Wśród gatunków trawolubnych były to: Chirolhrips manicallIs i HCtplolhrip~'
CtCu/ealus, a wśród związanych z zielnymi roślinami dwuliściennymi: Frankliniella inlollsa, Thrips alralus, T. fuscipel1nis, T. major i T. physaplIs.
Ponad polowa (57 gat.) wszystkich gatunków obserwowana była na jednym lub dwóch stanowiskach. W tej grupie znalazły się gatunki higrofilne, monofagiczne, znane z kilku stanowisk w kraju: Pe/ikanolhrips kralochviIi i Thrips menyanlhidis oraz nowy dla polskiej fauny
-Hap/othrips ulae. Również gatunki dendrotilne, żyjące pod korą próchniejących drzew lub w ściólce
znajdowane były pojedynczo. W tej grupie zasługują na uwagę: zerujący na liściach drzew liścias·
tych Liolhrips ollslriacus oraz mykofagiczne Liophfoeolhrips /llIngaric/(s. Mega/olhrips bonnalli j
Megafhrips /ativenlris.
