Cynegetis impunctata (Linnaeus, 1767)

Material: Gdańsk VII Dwór (CF42): 27 Apr 2017, 5 exx., forest clearing, leg. KS ; 23 May 2017, 1 ex., forest clearing, leg. KS.

Rare herbivorous ladybird. A reduction of the membraneous wings is probably a reason for its low dispersal ability and local (although sometimes relatively abundant) occurrence. In the Baltic Coast (only in the eastern part) recorded by Bartoszyński (1937) in Puck, by Bielawski (1962) in Elbląg and Tolkmicko, and recently by Napiontek & Szawaryn (2017) in Gdańsk Oliwa. The specimens collected in this study confirm the existence of a stable population of C. impunctata in the investigated area. Other recent data from Poland refer to localities in the Pomeranian Lake District ( Ceryngier et al. 2016b), Masurian Lake District (Bubienko et al. 2010), Wielkopolska-Kujawy Lowland ( Ruta 2006, Renner & Messutat 2007, Ruta et al. 2009), Lower Silesia ( Greń et al. 2013), Trzebnickie Hills ( Ruta et al. 2009) and Eastern Sudety Mts ( Ruta et al. 2009).
