Abstract

Abstract Carabus hungaricus is a typical steppic species declining throughout its range from Central Europe to Eastern Siberia, sharing the fate of the temperate grasslands, being listed in the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC) (Annexes II and IV) and protected in most countries of occurrence. The populations are isolated, fragmented and even facing extinction. In the spring of 2014, we observed and photographed one female of Carabus hungaricus in “Coridorul Jiului” Natura 2000 site (ROSCI0045), in an area with sandy grasslands near Murta locality (Dolj County), this being the second currently confirmed station for Carabus hungaricus in Romania.
