The snake-flies (Neuropteroidea: Raphidioptera) of Lublin agglomeration

The first records about occurrence of snake-flies near Lublin (Inocelia crassicornis) were published by Dzi dzielewicz (8). Since 1891, in the period of more than one century, in all Lublin region, only about 60 individuals, belonging to 5 species were caught. The recent researches were conducted during two seasons on 12 localities, which represented the most typical urban plant communities in Lublin agglomeration. In effect 62 specimens of snake-flies, belonging to 5 species were collected, using such methods as an entomological scoop, entomological umbrella, sticky traps and collecting by "picking out." The best effectiveness was acquired by application of the sticky traps.
