Abstract: | In the framework of the project „Invertebrate faunistical investigation of Sălaj county” 23 Psocoptera, 1 Megaloptera, 1 Raphidioptera and 30 Neuroptera specimens were collected, belonging to 5 Psocoptera, 1 Megaloptera, 1 Raphidioptera and 7 Neuroptera species. In spite of these low numbers, three of the found insects are worth to mention. Regarding the fauna of Romania, Kolbia quisquiliarum Bertkau, 1882 (Psocoptera) hitherto was mentioned only from Bucovina, Sialis fuliginosa Pictet, 1836 (Megaloptera) was known only from Sinaia and Sibiu, while Sisyra terminalis Curtis, 1854 (Neuroptera) was reported only one occasion and more than hundred years ago. |
