Abstract
The paper deals with eleven species and subspecies of tiger beetles of Romania. The specimens preserved in the collections of “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History were revised. Distribution maps based on the examined material are presented for each species.
Highlights
Detailed studies on tiger beetles regarding their natural history, population dynamics, communities, patterns of worldwide species richness, and the taxonomy of a particular subgroup have produced much information (Pearson and Vogler 2001)
The aim of this paper is to summarize data of the distribution of tiger beetle species in AB – Alba (Romania) based on the “Grigore Antipa” Museum collections
In the Catalogue of Palearctic Coleoptera (Putchkov and Matalin 2003) 16 tiger beetle species and subspecies are reported for Romania
Summary
Detailed studies on tiger beetles regarding their natural history, population dynamics, communities, patterns of worldwide species richness, and the taxonomy of a particular subgroup have produced much information (Pearson and Vogler 2001). Some authors include tiger beetles as a distinct subgroup (subfamily Cicindelinae) within the family Carabidae, while most entomologists consider tiger beetles to form their own family, Cicindelidae (Pearson and Vogler 2001).
