Abstract

The Romanian Trichoceridae fauna is poorly known. Trichocera (Saltrichocera) annulata Meigen, 1818 and Trichocera (Saltrichocera) maculipennis Meigen, 1818 are amongst the most widespread species in Europe, but the former species was not recorded from Romania so far and the later has only 120 years old records. Herein we report T. (S.) annulata from Romania for the first time and bring new records for T. (S.) maculipennis. A total of 18 Trichocera species are known from Romania at the moment.
