Abstract
For the first time, records of Hebrus ruficeps Thomson, 1871 (Hebridae) are reported from the European Northeast of Russia. The species was discovered in the first decade of September 2024 near the shore of a pond in the Kortkerossky District of the Komi Republic.The nearest finds of the species are located at a distance of 770 km in Lake Beloye Vologda Region, 550 km at the mouth of the Berezovka and Pazelinka rivers Udmurt Republic and 650 km in the Visimsky Nature Reserve, Sverdlovsk Region. The new discovery expands the northern boundary of the species' range in the European north and supplements the list of true bug in the study region. A map of the range of the Hebrus ruficeps species in Russia and neighboring countries has been compiled, and a new record of the species for the Russian Far East from the Mazanovsky District of the Amur Region has been provided.
