DANA S. COPOIU, CRISTINA PURCĂREA
Abstract:
The current study reported the incidence of the Botanophila fugax (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) adults in the South East area of Romania (Clătești, Călărași county). Individual insects were sampled from traps mounted on apple trees (Malus pumila) during the summer period (June 2021), whilst the fruit was ripen, and identified based on morphological characteristics and COX1-based DNA barcoding. This is the first mentioning of this species on Romanian territory, contributing to extending its reported habitat within the South Eastern part of Europe.
