The stilt bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) of Norway

We here present confirmed records of the six species of stilt bugs (Berytidae) occurring in Norway. Berytinus clavipes (Fabricius, 1775) is reported for the first time from Norway. Several new county records for the other species of Berytidae are also presented. All species are illustrated with pictures of specimens from Norway. The reported records of Berytinus affinis in Warloe (1925) have for a long time led to confusion about which species of Berytinus Kirkaldy, 1900 being present in Norway. Here, we show that these specimens actually belong to the common B. minor (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835). We conclude that it is not likely that more than these six species of Berytidae are to be found in Norway in the future.
