ABSTRACT: The paper presents new localities of 18 species of Dasytidae and Malachiidae in the Kampinos National Park. Among the presented species, 7 are new for the studied area and one of them, Malachius scutellaris, is new to the Mazovian Lowland. KEY WORDS: Dasytidae, Malachiidae, Kampinos National Park, faunistic records,
Masovian Lowland.
The families Dasytidae and Malachiidae belong to the subfamily Cleroidea (MAYOR 2007). According to “The Catalogue of Palaearctic
Coleoptera,” Dasytidae is represented in Poland by 19 species, and Malachiidae by 28 species (MAYOR 2007). The catalogue, however, does not take include the occurrence of Enicopus (Enicopus) pilosus (SCOPOLI,
1763), Dasytes (Metadasytes) nigrocyaneus MULSANT et REY, 1868 and
Aplocnemus (Aplocnemus) virens virens (SUFFRIAN, 1843) from the family Dasytidae, as well as Charopus concolor (FABRICIUS, 1801) and
Clanoptilus (Clanoptilus) strangulatus (ABEILLE de PERRIN, 1885) from
be assumed that the number of representatives of Dasytidae in Poland amounts to 22 species, and 30 species for Malachiidae. From the area of the Mazovian Lowland, within which the Kampinos National Park is situated, 15 species of Dasytidae and 14 species of Malachiidae are known (BURAKOWSKI & all. 1986, KUBISZ & all. 2000, GUTOWSKI & all. 2006, RUTA & all. 2011). However, it should be emphasised that the data on some
of the species (Aplocnemus (Aplocnemus) tarsalis (C.R. SAHLBERG, 1822), Aplocnemus (Aplocnemus) virens virens (SUFFRIAN, 1843), Danacea (Danacea) pallipes (PANZER, 1793)) pertain to the 19th century and the
beginning of the 20th century (BURAKOWSKI & all. 1986).
Thea aim of the following study is to supplement the data concerning the occurrence of the representatives of the mentioned families in the area of the Kampinos National Park. The data come from the authors’ research and field research, which intensified over the last years. The evidence samples are stored in the authors’ collections and the naturalistic collections of the Kampinos National Park.
The following abbreviations are used in the paper: SPA – Strict Protection Area, KNP – the Kampinos National Park, IBL-2 – a screen trap, IBL-5 – a barrier trap. Each site was provided with the code of the corresponding UTM square grid. Species new for the Mazovian Lowland are marked with [*]. The taxa nomenclature adopted after MAYOR (2007). The studies were conducted with the support of the fund of the State Forests National Forest Holding in 2014 within the framework of the project “Saproxylic beetles as an ecosystem quality indicator of pine forests of the Kampinos National Park” and within the framework of “Quality assessment of the hornbeam habitat of the Kampinos National Park on the basis of the fauna of saproxylic beetles.”

*Malachius (Malachius) scutellaris ERICHSON, 1840
– DD70 Grochalskie Piachy, 21 V 2015, 4 exx., on a willow in an open inland dune habitat.
One of the rarest malachite beetles in Poland; up to the half of the 1980s, it had been known only from 6 regions: the Baltic Coast, Lower Silesia, the Krakowsko-Wieluńska Upland, the Sandomierz Basin, West Beskid and Pieniny (BURAKOWSKI & all. 1986). Also recorded from the Białowieża Forest (BOROWIEC & all. 1992) and Western Sudetes (SZAFRANIEC & all.
2010).
A species new to the Mazovian Lowland.
Based on the observations and materials collected in the years 2007– 2015 from the area of the Kampinos National Park, 18 representatives of
the abovementioned families were recorded – 9 species of Dasytidae and Malachiidae each. Unfortunately, the occurrence of three species known earlier from literature could not be confirmed: Clanoptilus (Clanoptilus) marginellus (OLIVIER, 1790), Axinotarsus (Axinotarsus) ruficollis
(OLIVIER, 1790) and Charopus flavipes (PAYKULL, 1798) (BURAKOWSKI &
all. 1986). A possibility to discover yet another few species, which are more widely distributed in Poland, within the area of the park, cannot be ruled out.
SUMMARY
The paper provides new data on 9 species of Dasytidae and 9 species of Malachiidae (Coleoptera: Cleroidea). Among them, 7 species are new for the studied area. The occurrence of 11 species previously mentioned in literature has been confirmed. One species, Malachius scutellaris, has been recorded from the Mazovian Lowland for the first time. All species from the Dasytidae family were collected during the research of saproxylic beetle communities in Tilio-Carpinetum and Querco roboris-Pinetum forests of the Kampinos National Park in the years 2014–2015.
