To the study of hemipteran assemblages (Insecta: Heteroptera) of aquatic and near-aquatic biotopes of the Meshchera National Park

Lychkovskaya I.Yu.

This paper presents the results of a study of hemipteran assemblages in aquatic and semiaquatic biotopes of the Meshchera National Park. The insect fauna, which includes 80 species of 21 families, includes eurytopic species, polyphytophages, and broad oligophytophages, inhabiting biotopes with an herbaceous cover and a wide range of humidity. The fauna is mainly represented by Trans-Palearctic, Superatlantic and Holarctic species. The greatest faunistic similarity is characteristic of hemipteran associations of floodplain meadows with areas of sedge-forb shores (ICS = 29.1%) and sedge shores (I
CS = 21.4%); in addition, the hemipteran assemblages of rivers and ditches are very similar (ICS = 14.8%).
