CONSTANȚA-MIHAELA ION*, **, DUMITRU MURARIU*
Abstract:
An overview of the centipede fauna of Vâlcea County (Romania) is given, with particular focus on Buila-Vânturariţa National Park (BVNP), emphasizing species ecology and conservation status. Records were extracted from existing literature and a database completed with recently collected specimens. During the field campaign, 14 centipede species were collected and identified representing 5 genera and 4 families. The number of known species in BVNP reaches 16, while for the Vâlcea county is 27. Out of these, four species, Dicellophilus carniolensis, Harpolithobius anodus anodus, Lithobius schuleri and L. burzenlandicus are considered endangered in the Carpathian Mountains, while two species are endemic for Romania, Lithobius decapolitus and Harpolithobius triacanthos. The identified species, grouped by ecological categories, attests to a good natural condition of the protected habitats under study. Data on the know distributional range of the species over some abiotic factors are also given.
