Eugen Nitzu
The rare and little-known species Choleva macedonica, previously known from the Dinaric Alps - Balkans, belonging to the “sturmi group” of species is recorded for the first time in the Carpathians and in the Romanian fauna. The male specimen collected in the Southern Carpathians is accurately described and illustrated as a “prodrome” for a possible new subspecies of C. macedonica. Brief observations on Choleva species from the Romanian fauna and their ecological importance are presented. The biogeographical importance of this new record is emphasized.
