First Record of Allonyx Quadrimaculatus (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cleridae) in Romania, from the Scientific Collections of “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History (Bucharest)

Abstract

Abstract Collecting records for Allonyx quadrimaculatus (Schaller, 1783) indicate a discontinuous range for the species; it has not been recorded in Romania until now. On the basis of a specimen collected by Dr. Nicolae Săvulescu in 1952 at Băile Herculane which is found in the Coleopteran collection of “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History (Bucharest), the presence of this species in Romania is established.
