On Lampyroidea dispar in Bulgaria (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) [PDF]
Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa”, 2022 In this paper we provide information on the distribution and biology of Lampyroidea dispar (Fairmaire, 1857), based on males collected in Bulgaria. After its description, little research was conducted on this species. Here, for the first time, we provide
