Isometopus mirificus, the first representative of the subfamily Isometopinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) recorded from Slovakia
The first record of Isometopus mirificus Mulsant et Rey, 1879 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Isometopinae: Isometopini) from Slovakia is presented. This record also represents the first Slovak record of a member of the subfamily Isometopinae. I. mirificus is a rare northern Mediterranean species living on the bark of deciduous trees, but its biology is poorly known. Our record fits into the context of other known records in neighbouring countries. It seems that I. mirificus is native to Slovakia, although it is overlooked and difficult to find.
