In the presented series of elaborations, focusing on faunistics and bionomy of Polish
representatives of Dolerus Panz., the authors wish to report the results of collecting on more
than thirty Polish localities in 2012-2017. The list (with short description) of localities on
which Dolerus germanicus (Fabr.) has been found is presented in Table 1, and general
distribution of the species in Poland on Map 1. Most of the specimens were collected by the
authors of this paper. Two specimens were caught by M. Bidas (see paragraph “New
localities”). All specimens have been deposited in the Department of Forest Protection and
Ecology SGGW, in Rogów.

Geographical distribution: The D. germanicus germanicus occurs almost throughout
Europe, especially in the central and southern parts of it. Subspecies D. germanicus
fuscipennis (Steph.) is known from the northern part of Sweden and Kamchatka; D.
germanicus sibiricus Zhelochov. occurs in the northern part of Russia and D. germanicus
subsolanus Zhelochov. in the eastern part of Russia (Haris 2000; Taeger & al. 2006, 2010;
Sundukov and Lelej 2009).
Fig. 1. Dolerus germanicus (F.) – a right penis valve of male aedeagus (outer view).
One of the most common the horsetail-infesting species of the genus Dolerus. Occurs as
well in wet places near water as in arid, xerothermic habitats. Males and females appear
simultaneously, flying in May, with the peak of swarming in the second and third decade
(Fig. 2); specimens observed in July, of distinctly darker wings, seem to belong to the second
generation. Representatives of this species – especially those flying in July and August –

frequently feed on flowering umbelliferes – the author (JB) observed them on flowers of
Pastinaca sativa L. and Heracleum sphondylium L.
