Abstract
Kolibáč J. 1999: Comparative morphology of mandible, epipharynx and alimentary canal
in larval and adult Cleroidea (Coleoptera). Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae
(Brno) 84: 11-69. - The paper describes and illustrates in detail the mandibles, epipharynges
(labra) including their tormal processes, and alimentary canals of representatives of higher
taxa of Cleroidea. The study involved 18 representatives of all families and some of the
subfamilies of Cleroidea, both larval and adult. The larval and adult characters have been
separately analysed using the Hennig86 programme, and the resulting trees for larvae and
adults are compared. Larval Cleroidea exhibit smaller numbers of morphological characters
than do adult ones, and the particular larval characters studied mostly show fewer character
states than the adult ones, hence it is easier to formulate hypotheses on the polarity of the
character states. The character matrix for larvae is more congruent than that for adults
concerning identical characters. Therefore, if the relationship of higher taxa upwards of
the subfamily category is determined on the basis of a limited number of model representatives,
better results are obtained from a study of larvae. This generalization holds only if the same
numbers of larval and adult characters are studied, as was the case in the present paper. If,
in that case, larval and adult characters are combined in a matrix, the larval ones could be
attributed a greater weight (which case has not been tested in the present study). If a complete
sample of adults and larvae is available, then better results should be obtained from the adults,
and that for taxa of any category. In that case, however, it is advisable to combine, in a
character analysis, the larval and adult characters in one matrix. In that case, the weights
of the larval and adult characters would probably be the same.

Abstract
Lauterer P. 1999: Results of the investigations on Hemiptera in Moravia, made by the Moravian
museum (Psylloidea 2). Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 84: 71-151. - The characteristics
of general distribution, distribution in Moravia and in biogeographical units, bionomics. phenology,
hypsometry, abundance, voltinism, incidental oscillation in numbers and probable evaluation of future
occurrence are given for each species of the genus Cacopsylla. If the number of data for any of the
species exceeded 100 they are given in an abbreviated form and evaluated in a general way only. The
occurrence of the particular species is shown in maps based on the central European grid net; therefore,
the grid net numbers have been omitted in reporting the individual findings. The paper is based on the
evaluation of all available literature pertaining to the study area, as well as on that of all material
kept in the Moravian Museum in Brno, the National Museum in Prague, and in the collections of all specialists.
If not otherwise stated, the author is also the collector of the material.
Key words: Psylloidea, Psyllidae, Psyllinae, Cacopsylla, Moravia, distribution, bionomics

Slovakia made by the Moravian Museum (Lygaeidae III). Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae
biologicae (Brno) 84: 153-201. - The distribution and bionomical remarks on the species of
Rhyparochrominae (pars) (Lygaeidae) is given. The tribus Rhyparochromini is represented by
16 species, Megalonotini by 10, Gonianotini by 14 and Myodochini by 3 species.

Abstract
Růžička V. 1999: Spiders (Araneae) of scree slopes in the Moravian Karst. Acta Musei Moraviae,
Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 84: 205-210. - Spiders of bare scree fields were investigated on
valley slopes in the Moravian Karst. A non-uniform occurrence of species in the scree field was
recorded. Thermophilous species (Dysdera ninnii Canestrini, Zelotes erebeus (Thorell), Trochosa
robusta (Simon)) occur on the surface of the upper margin, cold-adapted Lepthyphantes tripartitus
Miller & Svatoň occur at lower margin with ice formation. Numerous exclusive inhabitants of scree
fields were recorded: Lepthyphantes notabilis Kulczyński, Rugathodes bellicosus (Simon), Agraecina
striata (Kulczyński), Trogloneta granulum Simon. Troglomorphic populations of Theonoe minutissima
(O. P.-Cambridge) and Porrhomma egeria Simon inhabit deep layers of scree accumulations.

Abstract
Prášek V. & Jurajda P. 1999: A contribution to the knowledge of fishes in the brooks
of the Pelhřimov area (Bohemian-Moravian Highlands). Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae
biologicae (Brno) 84: 211-221. - This is the first information on the ichthyofauna of
small watercourses in the western part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. Three brooks
were electrofished at five sites in September 1996. The dominant species included brown
trout (Salmo trutta m. fario) and bullhead (Cottus gobio). In all, five species were caught -
brown trout, grayling (Thymallus thymallus), bullhead, minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) and perch
(Perca fluviatilis). The differencies with other small watercourses of Bohemian-Moravian Highlands are discussed.
