All the specimens belonging both to the Collection of Palearctic Coleopterans (136 specimens) and to checkered beetles material (1369 specimens, before to be organized in a collection) were revised by the authors. The authors proposed to present the works that refer to the reports of clerid species from the territory of Romania, in chronological order, in the Records section. In the Remarks section, aspects related to the distribution of species are addressed, taking into account various bibliographic sources and some observations of the authors. A summary of the current knowledge on the bionomy of the twenty-five clerid beetles species, based on literature data, is presented.
