Abstract
The presence of Eretes sticticus in the Romanian fauna, unconfirmed until now, is for the first time accurately recorded and documented with photographs in this article. The presence of other two very rare and little-known species: Acinopus (Osimus) ammophilus and Sphenoptera (Chilostetha) laportei are reconfirmed for the Romanian fauna, in a different geographical area (North Dobrogea), other than that they were previously recorded last century.
