This paper presents the first
record of a rare species of Miridae, Polymerus
(Pachycentrum) carpathicus (Horváth, 1882), in
Poland. A broad analysis of its occurrence was conducted, which was
based on modelling its potential ecological niche using past and future
models, which enabled new and valuable information about the
potentially suitable habitats and its possible range of distribution as
well as its climatic preferences to be identified. The results of the
research indicate that P. (P.) carpathicus prefers habitats in
highlands and mountains. This species probably came to Europe from Asia
via a postglacial migration and the disjunctive range that
characterises P. (P.) carpathicus may be due to a lack of
data. Additionally, the key to identifying the Polish species from the
subgenera Pachycentrum and Polymerus and maps of their
distribution in Poland are also presented.
Key words: Biodiversity,
Dispersion, Distribution, Niche modelling, Plant bugs.
