Agrilus (Uragrilus) guerini: a new species for the Romanian fauna (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

Abstract

Agrilus guerini Lacordaire is recorded for the first time in Romania, in Southern Transylvania. The occurrence of this species in Romania was expected, as it is present in neighbouring countries. A short description, some aspects of biology and ecology, and a distribution map of this species in Romania are given.

First record of Kisanthobia ariasi (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in Romania

“…A big percentage of the Buprestid beetles are secondary guests, in relation with the host plants, that means they are feeding with the already injured or stressed trees or bushes. In Romania, 150 Buprestid species (Ruicănescu 2013) were known, other 2 species being added later (Ruicănescu et al 2018;Manci and Ruicănescu 2018).…”
