- New additions and further records of non-native Coleoptera in Romania. Drăghici, Andreea-Cătălina Pintilioaie, Alexandru-Mihai Murariu, Dumitru Manci, Cosmin-Ovidiu Ruzzier, Enrico Romania Coleoptera Animals Animal Distribution Male Female Body Size Ecosystem Organ Size Animal Structures Introduced Species This report details the discovery of five new non-native Coleoptera species for the Romanian fauna: Cis chinensis Lawrence, 1991 (Ciidae), Latheticus oryzae C.O. Waterhouse, 1880, Palorus subdepressus (Wollaston, 1864), Tribolium destructor Uyttenboogaart, 1933 (Tenebrionidae), and Litargus balteatus LeConte, 1856 (Mycetophagidae). Furthermore, additional occurrences for 19 species whose data were deficient were provided. The identification of unrecorded alien species in a natural setting indicates that they are well established and warrant further monitoring to determine their current distribution at the national level and potential impact on the environment and human activities. This indicates the current extent of our understanding of the diversity of non-native coleopterans in Romania and emphasizes the necessity of further investigation into this group, with a particular focus on those species with the potential to become invasive.
