Abstract

A number of taxa previously unknown in the territory of the Republic of Belarus have been identified during the study of materials on true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), that were collected in the Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve in
2000—2022. For the first time for the fauna of Belarus, the research includes the family Dipsocoridae Dohrn, 1859, the genus Pachycoleus Fieber, 1860 and two species of true hemipteran insects: Pachycoleus pusillimum (J. Sahlberg, 1870) and Pachycoleus waltli (Fieber, 1860). The considered species were collected in humid habitats (raised and fen bogs, overgrowing low-level floodplain meadow) in the moss layer with dominance or presence of sphagnum. Under conditions in this country, species in the adult phase of development are found from May to September. It is necessary to continue work on the new habitats identification, ecology and biology study of these peculiar and poorly studied true bugs.
