 Abstract:


   The paper presents data on the diversity of Coleoptera (Staphylinidae, Cerambycidae and Chrysomelidae families) in the Făgăraș Mountains and its surroundings, based on the study of material preserved in the collections of the "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History (Bucharest) and the Institute of Biology Bucharest of the Romanian Academy. A total of 148 species belonging to 89 genera and 20 subfamilies are reported. Among the valuable species recorded in this area, we mention: Cornumutila lineata (Letzner, 1844) - a highly rare representative of the fauna of Palaearctic coniferous forests and Ocypus kuntzeni (G. Müller, 1926) - a mountainous species, possibly endemic in the Romanian Carpathians. Also, Rosalia alpina alpina (Linnaeus, 1758) and Morimus asper funereus Mulsant, 1863 are species of community interest, included in the Annex II of the Habitats Directive.
