Abstract

The paper presents data on the remarkable abundance of S. graffii in the parks of the industrially transformed region of Upper Silesia, Poland. Ten new sites and 36 colonies were recorded, while only 6 sites were known so far from the whole territory of Poland. New host plant species and new ant species tending aphids were also recorded. The conclusion is that the abundance of Stomaphis species may be underestimated due to their cryptic life mode.
