B. cryptarum and B. magnus are among the so-called crypticspecies whose identifi cation is very diffi cult due to highinterspecifi c variability of their morphologicalcharacteristics. This greatly limits possibilities for studyingtheir biology, bionomics and ecology. The aim of this researchwas to contribute to knowledge about distribution of B.cryptarum in Moravia (Czech Republic) and to verify thepossibility of its laboratory rearing. During 2006–2009, 26collections were performed at Moravian localities. Of the 17specimens that were assigned to B. cryptarum or B. aff .cryptarum based on morphology, the molecular analysis of mtDNARFLP confi rmed the identifi cation of 10 speciemens. Themolecular analysis even assigned to B. cryptarum one specimendetermined morphologically as B. aff . magnus. Of four queenscaptured in spring, and while applying a laboratory method usedfor breeding of B. terrestris, two complete nests weresuccessfully reared, including queens of the 2nd generationthat then set up their own brood. Species identifi cation ofthese queens as B. cryptarum was confi rmed by both molecularanalysis and analysis of the marking pheromones of males amongtheir off spring. A single B. terrestris worker was able toraise 5 young queens of B. cryptarum of the brood.
