Blacus longipennis (Gravenhorst, 1807) View in CoL

Material examined.

Hungary, Veszprém County, Kapolcs, Pokol Hole, DFE: 4 m, 5 July 2012-13 November 2012, pitfall traps no. 1-3, leg. Cs. Kutasi, 1 ♀.

Remarks.

Widespread Palaearctic species, and an endoparasitoid of coleopteran hosts ( Anobiidae , Cerambycidae ) ( Yu et al. 2012). This species is first reported here in association with hypogean environment; some members of this genus are known to overwinter as adults ( Johnson 1920); it might be a reason of its presence in caves.
