Die
Larvalstadien von Proterebia afra pyramus (De Louker & Dils,

Summary: On 19.V.2004, 15 ova of P. afra
from the Greek prefecture of Kozani (West Macedonia)
arrived at D. Jutzeler’s home; they originated from
a caged female collected by T. Lafranchis. In this
study, the rearing of this material in Switzerland
is documented and compared with the results of the
rearing of P. afra originating from Dalmatia
(Croatia), carried out by P. Roos (1984). The
changes to both the specific and generic names,
which have been used for this species, are traced
back to the time of its discovery in South Russia.
Of the described subspecies of P. afra, the
two Balkan races: ssp. pyramus (de Louker &
Dils, 1987) and ssp. dalmata (Godart, 1824)
are discussed in detail whereas the others are
merely summarised.
Zusammenfassung: Im Mai 2004 trafen bei D.
Jutzeler 15 Eier von P. afra aus der
griechischen Präfektur Kozani (Westmakedonien) ein,
die T. Lafranchis aus einer Ablage erzielt hatte.
Die in der Schweiz durchgeführte Zucht wird
dokumentiert und ausgewertet sowie mit Befunden der
von P. Roos (1984) durchgeführten Zucht von P.
afra aus Dalmatien (Kroatien) verglichen. Die
Wechsel der Art- und Gattungsnamen im Laufe der Zeit
werden bis in die Zeit der Entdeckung in Südrussland
zurückverfolgt. Von den beschriebenen Unterarten von
P. afra werden die beiden Balkanrassen ssp.
pyramus (de Louker & Dils, 1987) und ssp.
dalmata (Godart, 1824) detailliert und die
übrigen Unterarten summarisch behandelt.

2011
Summary: The first record of Erebia oeme in the
central South Carpathians (Făgăraş Mts.) is reported and further
records in Retezat Mts. (southwestern Carpathians). Apparently,
the species is rare in the Carpathians, but should be more
widely distributed as thought. The subspecific classification of
E. oeme from the Carpathians and their conservation value is
discussed.
Key words: Erebia oeme, distribution,

Summary: The pharaoh ant, Monomorium
pharaonis (L.), is a well-known adventive and
invasive indoor pest species. Although this species
is very common in temperate Europe, it has been
previously recorded in Romania only in Bucharest. We
present new records of this species from four
additional sites in Romania: Cluj-Napoca, Miercurea
Ciuc, Oradea, and Sibiu. This species poses
potential public health risks in Romania.
Key words: adventive species, ants, invasive
species, Monomorium pharaonis, pest, risks.

Summary: Aggressive behaviour of Formica
exsecta was studied on pastures near the După
Luncă Marsh (Harghita County, Romania). More than
3000 Formica exsecta nests can be found here.
Three small nest aggregations situated at different
distances from each other were chosen for the
purpose of our research. The aim of our study was to
find out if there are any differences in the
aggressive behaviour between the nest complexes and
if so, then can there be found any differences
regarding the level of aggression between workers
from different distances. The behaviour of ants was
tolerant, even if they were from nests aggregations
situated at bigger distances from each other. Lower
level of aggression was found between nest
aggregations situated closer to each other, however
this could be shown only in spring.
Key words: Formica exsecta, aggressive
behaviour, polydomous colonies.

Summary: The Rose Bedeguar gall is the most
abundant rose gall in Europe. Nevertheless, life
history of the community composers is less known,
and community characteristics from the Eastern part
of the Western Palearctic is scarcely reported. Here
we provide community characteristics of the galls of
D. rosae including species abundances, life
history and sex ratio of the inducer from a
large-scale dataset from the Carpathian Basin. Our
results summarize and complete the knowledge of the
community composition. In our samples two species
from the abundant parasitoids showed significant
differences compared with European mean abundances:
O. mediator had significantly higher, and
G. stigma had significantly lower abundances in
our samples. From the least abundant parasitoids
three species out of five showed significant
differences compared with European mean abundances:
C. inflexa, E. urozonus and T. rubi
had significantly lower abundances in our samples.
We found clear difference between the species
phenologies in the community from the Carpathian
Basin and other European territories in the number
of emergence peaks from South towards the North. Our
findings suggest that there is no latitudinal
gradient in the sex ratio of the inducer, and
confirm the patchy variability of sex ratios.
Key words: Diplolepis rosae, Europe,
sex ratio, phenology, parasitism rate.

An
annotated list of Ptychopteridae (Insecta, Diptera) from Romania,
with notes on the individual variability of Ptychoptera albimana
(Fabricius, 1787)

article no.:
Entomologica romanica 16:
39-45, 2011
Summary: The Ptychopteridae fauna of Romania
has attracted little attention in the past; hence
the exact number of species from here remains
uncertain. The last Romaninan checklist was
published in 2007 and further sporadic faunistic
data cumulated together a number of five species
only. Based on our intensive faunistic survey
carried out between 1998 and 2011 a number of eight
species, three of them new for Romania, are
recorded. Wings and male genital organs of
Ptychoptera handlirschi, P. longipennis, and
P. silvicola are figured. Notes on individual
variability of Ptychoptera albimana from
Bulgaria, Romania, Germany and Luxembourg are
figured and discussed.
Key words: faunistic data, check list,
Ptychopteridae, Romania, new records, Ptychoptera
albimana, individual variability.

revealed new faunsitic data and a massive presence
of Cylindrotoma distinctissima distinctissima
(Meigen, 1818) in every mountainous regions of

Bulgaria. Additionally we add a new species,
Diogma glabrata Edwards, 1938, to the
Cylindrotomidae fauna of Romania, which now
summarized a total number of three species. Locality
data are enumerated in the case of each species
presents in the Romanian and Bulgarian fauna, with
details in altitude and number of individuals.
