ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA OF THE NETHERLANDS 1 ) 2 ) by BEREND AUKEMA Abstract Aukema, B., 1989. Annotated checklist of Hemiptera-Heteroptera of The Netherlands. -Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 132: 1-104, figs. 1-120, tab. 1. [ISSN 0040-7496]. Published 3 July 1989. A list of 586 species of Heteroptera recorded from The Netherlands is presented. Local distribution is indicated by data on the presence in the twelve Dutch provinces, while for new, rare and endangered species the records are included in more detail. Eighteen species are recorded for the first time from The Netherlands: Deraeocoris flavilinea (Costa), Tyttbus geminus (Flor), Brachyarthrum limitatum Fieber, Criocoris sulcicornis (Kirschbaum), Reuteria marqueti Puton, Heterocordylus genistae (Scopoli), Lygus adspersus (Schilling), Lygus wagneri Remane, Lygo-coris populi Leston, Capsus pilifer Remane, Capsodes sulcatus (Fieber) and Trigonotylus caeles-tialium (Kirkaldy) (Miridae), Temnostethus longirostris (Horvâth) and Scoloposcelis pulcbella (Zetterstedt) (Anthocoridae), Coranus woodroffei Putshkov (Reduviidae), Kleidocerys privignis (Horvâth), K. truncatulus ericae (Horvâth) and Scolopostethus pseudograndis Wagner (Lygaei-dae). Kleidocerys privignis is new for Western Europe. Key words. -Heteroptera; checklist; faunistics; distribution maps. Berend Aukema, Pomona 66, Wageningen, The Netherlands. Introduction Between 1853 and 195 1 five editions of a check-list of Dutch Heteroptera appeared (De Graaf & Snellen van Vollenhoven 1853, De Graaf, Six & Snellen van Vollenhoven 1860, Snellen van Vollen-hoven 1868-1878a, 1878, Fokker 1883-1899 and Reclaire 1932-1951). Because the last supplement to the list of Reclaire was published in 1951 there was a growing need for a new updated list. Reclaire (1932-1951) listed a total of 5 14 species from The Netherlands. In the present, sixth list, 586 species are included. Fourteen species of the list of Reclaire are omitted, because they are either considered incidentally introduced (Stephanitispy-rioides (Scott), Pinthaeus sanguinipes (Fabricius) and Rhaphigaster nebulosa (Poda)), misidentified (Sigara venusta (Douglas & Scott), Velia rivulorum (Fabricius), Chartoscirta geminata (Costa), Orthonotus cylindricollis (Costa), Phytocoris ju-niperi Frey-Gessner, Xylocoris parvulus (Reuter), Piesma capitatum (Wolff) and Rhopalus rufus ') Dedicated to the memory of R. H. Cobben, the well-known Dutch Hemipterist, who died at 7 December 1987. : ) Mededeling EIS-Nederland, nr. 41. Schilling), or sunk as synonyms (Monosynamma nigritulum (Zetterstedt), Orthocephalus ferrarii Reuter and Neides favosus Fieber). On the other hand Microvelia pygmaea (Dufour), Saldula palus-tris (Douglas), Amblytylus brevicollis Fieber and Eurydema ventralis Kult had to be added, because their origin and/or identity, questionable at the time, could be established. Furthermore, two taxa previously included as varieties have been raised to specific status, viz. Drymus ryeii Douglas & Scott and Megalonotus sabulicola (Thomson). The specimens of Coranus tuberculifer Reuter recorded by Blöte (1954, as f. nov. spec.) belong to C. woodroffei Putshkov. Callicorixa wollastoni (Douglas & Scott), Eury-colpus flaveolus Stài, Phytocoris hirsutulus Flor, Peritrechus distingendus (Flor), Stictopleurus cras-sicornis (Linnaeus), Sciocoris umbrinus (Wolff), Sehirus dubius (Scopoli) and Geotomus punctula-tus (Costa) are listed erroneously for The Nether-lands by Stichel (1955-1962). The recording of Callicorixa producta (Reuter) from The Netherlands (Polderman & Van der Velde 1971) was due to misidentification of imma-ture specimens of Callicorixa praeusta (Fieber); Jansson (1986) included Micronecta griseola Hor-1
