NEW RECORDS FOR THE HETEROPTERAN FAUNA OF SLOVENIA II
Andrej GOGALA Ljubljana
Abstract - 16 species of Heteroptera new to the fauna of Slovenia and 6 which have been found after a long period, are listed. Two species had been erroneously recorded from Slovenia. Maccevethus caucasicus (Kolenati) is the proper name for a species of this genus in Slovenia.
Izvleček - NOVI PODATKI O FAVNI STENIC V SLOVENIJI II
Navedenih je 16 vrst stenic, novih v favni Slovenije, in 6 vrst, ki so bile po dolgem času ponovno najdene. Dve vrsti sta bili zabeleženi v favni Slovenije po pomoti. Maccevethus caucasicus (Kolenati) je pravo ime za vrsto tega rodu v Sloveniji.
16 species new to the fauna of Slovenia have been found or recognized in the past few years. Some others have been recorded again after a long period. They were collected by the author, Matija Gogala, Tomi Trilar, Vincenc Furlan, Stanislav Gomboc, and Hannes Giinther. I am also greatful to Hannes Giinther for the identification of Psallus cnientatus and the majority of species collected by him.
Two species must be omitted from the list of Slovenian Heteroptera: Plinthi.sus con-vexus Fieber has been erroneously recorded in Slovenia. The specimens published under that name (gogala, 1991) belong to P. brevipennis (Latr.). The same is true of Maccevethus corsicus Signoret, recorded from Slovenia because of misidentification (see below).
Checklist
Mesoveliidae
Mesovelia furcata Mulsant & Rey, 1852 XM05, Dol. Bistrica, 23.5.1992, 2?
The species is already known from Slovenia (gogala & Moder, 1960), but has not been found since 1954. The new locality is an oxbow pond of the Mura river.

Lygaeidae
Tropidothoraxleucoptenis (Goeze, 1778)
VM03, Trenta, Alpine botanical garden Juliana, 24.9.1993, 19 The only record of this species from Slovenia until now was by GRAFFE (1911) from Tolmin (VM01), under the name Lygaeus familiciris F. The new locality is in the same valley of Soca river. Dimorphoptenis spinolae (Signoret, 1857)

Rhopalidae
Mciccevethus caucasicus (Kolenati, 1845)
VL03, Borst, 3.5.1986, lcf; VL13, Socerga, 9.6.1990, lcf; UL93, Padna, 13.7.1995, 1$; VL07, Brje pri Komnu, 10.9.1995, 1?
JOSIFOV (1966) found that species of the genus Mciccevethus could be distinguished only by genitalia of males as all other characters vary too much. After examining the paramers, I concluded that M. caucasicus is the only species of this genus in Slovenia. Our records of M. corsicus (GOGALA, 1991; GOGALA & GOGALA, 1994) are wrong.

Alpine species. It had been wrongly recorded as S. umbrinus (GOGALA & GOGALA, 1986). The only records of S. umbrinus from Slovenia are therefore from Podčetrtek in the sub-Pannonian region (PROTIČ, 1987), but I did not see those specimens collected by E. Jaeger. The status of S. brevicollis is doubtful, as the differences from S. umbrinus are very slight (WAGNER, 1965). Sciocoris fumipennis Puton, 1881
VM05, Kranjska Gora, 700 m, 10.7.1986, lcf, 1?, H. Günther leg. WAGNER (1965) recorded the species from North Italy and Istria, with localities Gorica (Gorizia) and Trst (Trieste) near the Slovenian border. The new locality is in the Alpine region. Dyroderes umbraculatus (Fabricius, 1775)
