The main aim of the survey was to describe the diversity and richness of Chilopoda in the selected area of the Bug River valley. The study sites were located in two regions differing in the shape of the valley, the presence of thermophilous habitats and the size of riparian forests. Pitfall traps were used as a sampling method. As a result, 444 specimens belonging to 12 centipede species of two orders - Geophilomorpha (four species) and Lithobiomorpha (eight species) were caught. Lithobius (Monotarsobius) curtipes C.L.Koch, 1847, Pachymeriumferrugineum (C.L.Koch, 1835), Lamyctes (Lamyctes) emarginatus (Newport, 1844) and Lithobius (Monotarsobius) dudichi Loksa, 1947 were the most common and the most numerous species. Of particular note is Lithobiusdudichi found in Poland for the first time and previously known based on a single specimen. Two to 10 Chilopoda species were found in each habitat under investigation. The greatest species richness was found in thermophilous thickets (10 species), sandy grasslands (eight), xerothermic grasslands (eight) and mesic meadows (six). The fewest number of species (two) was found in rushes at oxbows and in wet meadows. We found differences in the species composition and the number of Chilopoda between the lower (102 specimens, six species) and the middle (324 specimens, 11 species) section of the river valley. Our results confirm the need to protect xerothermic habitats, unique almost throughout entire Central Europe, which due to their distribution and their small area covered are fairly easily subject to the process of destruction.
此次调查的主要目的是描述布格河谷选定区域内唇足纲动物的多样性和丰富度。研究地点位于两个区域，这两个区域在河谷形状、嗜热栖息地的存在情况以及河岸森林的规模方面存在差异。采用陷阱诱捕法作为采样方法。结果，捕获了属于两个目（地蜈蚣目，4种；石蜈蚣目，8种）的12种蜈蚣的444个标本。1847年的短跗石蜈蚣（Lithobius (Monotarsobius) curtipes C.L.Koch）、1835年的锈红厚甲蜈蚣（Pachymerium ferrugineum (C.L.Koch)）、1844年的凹缘拉氏蜈蚣（Lamyctes (Lamyctes) emarginatus (Newport)）和1947年的杜氏石蜈蚣（Lithobius (Monotarsobius) dudichi Loksa）是最常见且数量最多的物种。特别值得注意的是杜氏石蜈蚣，它首次在波兰被发现，此前仅依据一个标本为人所知。在每个被调查的栖息地中发现了2至10种唇足纲动物。在嗜热灌木丛（10种）、沙地草原（8种）、干热草原（8种）和中生草甸（6种）中发现的物种丰富度最高。在牛轭湖的芦苇丛和湿草甸中发现的物种数量最少（2种）。我们发现河谷下游（102个标本，6种）和中游（324个标本，11种）之间唇足纲动物的物种组成和数量存在差异。我们的研究结果证实了保护干热栖息地的必要性，这种栖息地在几乎整个中欧都很独特，由于其分布范围和覆盖的小面积区域，相当容易遭受破坏过程的影响。
