Abstract:

Although there are few in extenso articles in Romania on the distribution of beetles and only 2 catalogues [4, 10, 11], based on this and on the studied material a preliminary distribution can be traced.

By the compilation of these recordings with the ones quoted in the literature it can be done an valid corellation with the western palaearctic chorotypes. By the interpretation of the obtained data we can establish the corotyp types and the faunal influences for every of the investigated species.

The chorotype classification were taken from Taglianti et al.,1992 [14]. By the interpretation of the recording data in accord to this autor, it has became obviously that the romanian clerid fauna is formed mostly by western-palaearctic elements, the other types being less represented. An interesting presence is the species Allonyx quadrimaculatus Schaller, 1783, which has been recently recorded for the first time in our country [5]. From these data, we can conclude that its areal is not an discontinuous one, as believed until lately.

The areal representation were done by dotted line, in these case, the authors having the same opinion with the conceotion of BĂŁnĂŁrescu [2] and of BĂŁnĂŁrescu & BoÂșcaiu [3], in accord with the quoted authors which affirm that the areal boundaries are not fixe and unsurpassable barriers.
