Dicheirotrichus (Trichocellus) discicollis (DEJEAN 1829)

B u l g a r i a: East Bulgaria, Beloslav 6.-14.VII.1987, 1, 3, leg. P. Bulirsch, det. B. Kataev (cWR).

R o m a n i a: "RSR Istria 20.V.1989 J. Bašte", 1 s. (cWR).

For the first time this species was cited for the Balkan Peninsula from Bulgaria as Trichocellus sp. with supposition that most likely it is T. discicollis ( WRASE 1991: 13) . In 1994, the identification of D.W. Wrase was confirmed by B. Kataev (D.W. Wrase personal communication). Since recently the species was noted for Bulgaria and Romania without exact data (CATPAL 1: JAEGER & KATAEV 2003: 403), here it is firstly noted with detailed data for both countries.
