Abstract:

The article presents the results of field research in 2022 in Kungei Alatau. The purpose of the research: To study the fauna, biology, ecology and distribution of terrestrial hemiptera in the park. Based on our own research, an inventory and a comprehensive analysis of the fauna of hemiptera were carried out and an annotated list was compiled. As a result of the conducted research, 18 species of hemiptera belonging to 15 genera and 7 families were identified. The dominant species include Myrmecophyes alboornatus (34 specimen), Lygus pratensis (13 specimen), Tingis reticu lata (10 specimen), Tingis angustata (9 specimen). Other types of bedbugs are noted a little less often. Zicrona caerulea (Linnaeus, 1758) is a species listed in the Red Book of the Almaty region. According to food relations, the hemiptera of Kungei Alatau are divided into 3 groups: phytophages (12 species), zoophytophages (3 species) and zoophages (3 species), according to life forms they are distributed into 4 groups: herpetobiont (2 species), herpetobiont (2 species), hortobiont (13 species), hortobiont-dendrobiont (1 species), according to the number of generations per year, the hemiptera of Kungei Alatau are divided into 3 groups: monovoltindi (11 species), bivoltindi (6 species), 2-3 generations per year (1 species). Among them, 17 species hibernate in the imago stage, 1 species in the egg stage, and 2 groups are distinguished according to ecology: meso-xerophiles (2 species), mesophiles (16 species).

Key words: Spring fauna, hemiptera, Kungei Alatau.

Hemiptera is one of the special groups of insects that inhabit various biotopes and play an important role in biogeocenoses. Among the semi-rigid insects, there are many carnivorous or omnivorous species, but herbivorous species predominate. They feed on the juices of plants, mainly their genitals and seeds. Among herbivorous hemipterans, there are many pests of agriculture and forestry. Some predators destroy forest and agricultural pests.

The purpose of the study: to study the fauna, biology, ecology and distribution of terrestrial hemipterans in the study area.
