Gabriela CUZEPAN* Ioan TĂUŞAN**

Abstract: The paper presents data regarding three Lucanus species preserved in the entomological collections of the Natural History Museum from Sibiu. Lucanus cervus, currently a protected species is of main conservation interest. Data concerning species geographical distribution based on collecting sites are also given. Keywords: stag beetles, genus Lucanus, natural heritage, museum collections.

Introduction

Stag beetles (Lucanidae, Coleoptera) are a group of xylophagous or saproxylophagous beetles with more than 1500 species all over the world. It includes 18 species in Europe (Baraud, 1993; Muret, Drumont, 1999). Lucanus cervus (Linnaeus 1758) is a species of a major interest in the present conservation context. At European level is classified as a species of restricted abundance and conservation interest (Harvey, Gange 2011). This stag beetle is found across much of Europe, distributed in metapopulations (Harvey, Gange 2011) influenced by habitat structure. Until recently, the species was considered to inhabit especially forest ecosystems, but Thomaes et al. (2008) confirmed the presence of the species in gardens, parks and areas near forests. What makes L. cervus special amongst European scarabaeoid beetles is its ability to subsist on dead wood in the rhizosphere, being completely dependent on wood or trees but is not arboreal (Whitehead 2007). In most of the countries the species is threatened because of habitat fragmentation and degradation.

Stag beetles have been studied in Romania since

* Brukenthal National Museum, Natural History Museum, Sibiu, Romania, [email protected] ** Brukenthal National Museum, Natural History Museum, Sibiu, Romania, [email protected]

the early 1900’s when data were first published by Fleck (1904). In the same period, similar studies were published by Montandon (1906). Data concerning the Transylvanian stag beetle fauna were published by Petri (1912) in a comprehensive catalogue. For different regions of Romania the work of Ochs (1921) and Marcu (1928) are worth mentioning. Moreover, Marcu (1928) gives the first record of Lucanus cervus in Romania (sampled from karst-dominated areas in the Mehedinţi and Gorj counties).

More recent studies are those of Szel (1995) on Transylvania’s beetle fauna, Procheș (1997) and Chimişliu (2007) on the stag beetle fauna of Romania, the latter with a focus on the south-western Oltenia region.

In Romania the stag beetle fauna is represented by seven species (Chimişliu 2007). Previous to 1997, there were only six species known to occur in Romania. After the review undertaken by Procheş (1997) Platycerus caprea (De Geer 1774) was added to the list.

In the entomological collections of the Natural History Museum of Sibiu, considered to be one of the oldest and most valuable collections in Romania and dating since 1827 (Pascu, Schneider 1998), numerous specimens of Lucanus are preseved.

This study aims to compile a list of the species and specimens in the museum’s collections and to provide data regarding their distribution.

Material

The stag beetle material of the Natural History Museum from Sibiu is comprised of several entomological collections: “Dr. Karl Petri”, “Dr. Eugen Worell”, “Rolf Weyrauch”, “Heinrich Hann von Hannenheim” and The Transylvania Society for Natural Sciences (Siebenbürgishen Vereins für Naturwiessenschaften zu Hermannstadt).

The “Dr. Karl Petri” collection consists of more than 46.300 insects, mainly sampled from Transylvania. The collector was interested in Palaearctic beetles, but also in exotic beetles from all over the world. He is known for his Coleoptera studies, especially those looking at weevils (Curculionidae).

The “Dr. Eugen Worell” collection includes more than 93,000 specimens collected from Romania, but also from different regions including Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America. In Romania, he collected mostly around Transylvania, with a particular interest in the surroundings of Sibiu.

The “Prof. Rolf Weyrauch” collection consists of 16.436 specimens from Transylvania, mainly from Sibiu’s surroundings. In this collection the stag beetle family is represented by 282 specimens.

The material from the “Heinrich Hann von Hannenheim” collection originates in various parts of Sibiu County. The collector was one of the members of the Transylvania Society which focussed on collecting beetlesthe order Coleoptera is represented by 2000 specimens.

The “Dr. Eckbert Schneider” collection includes over 20.000 insects, collected from all over the country, especially from southern part of Transylvania.

The “Transylvania Society for Natural Sciences” is another important collection that consists of 71.567 insects. Coleoptera species are represented as follows: Palaearctic species (45.638 specimens) and exotic species (2.304 specimens) (Pascu, Schneider 1998).

The identification of the Lucanus species was made following the keys of: Paulian (1941) and

Paulsen (2006). The nomenclature and systematic order are according to the ones used by Lawrence, Newton (1995), Maes (2005), Bouchard et al. (2011) and Bartolozzi (2013).

The analyzed stag beetle material is presented as follows: collection, species name, total number of males/females, localities followed by the official name and the administrative district (county) in round brackets; date of collection; the collector and collection abbreviations. In square brackets are mentioned the synonymy of the Lucanus species as they appear in the museum collections.

Results and discussions

In this paper, data on 107 individuals are presented: 70 males and 37 females, from five entomological collections hosted at the Natural History Museum of Sibiu. The species identified are: Lucanus cervus (Linnaeus, 1758) (nominate subspecies, Fig. 1.a), Lucanus ibericus Motschulsky, 1845 (Fig. 1.d) and Lucanus tetraodon Thunberg, 1806 (Fig. 1.e). Additionally, in the collections two subspecies of Lucanus cervus: turcicus Sturm, 1843 (Fig. 1.b) and syriacus Planet, 1897 are recorded (Fig. 1.c).

Lucanus cervus has a protected status in most of the European countries, being listed in the 2nd Annexe of the EC Habitats Directive. In Romania, this species is a protected one according with the OUG 57/2007 and OMMDD 1964/2007 and considered “of special interest”.

Mapping the collection localities of Lucanus species preserved in the collections represents an important contribution to the species’ distribution in and outside Romania (Fig. 2-4).

Most specimens of Lucanus cervus listed here were collected from the southern part of Transylvania (Sibiu County, Sighişoara, Braşov County). Some specimens were collected from mountainous areas such as Postăvarul and Cindrel



455

Mountains. Besides these localities, a few specimens were sampled from other parts of Romania including: Alba County, Mehadia-Caraş Severin County, Banat County, Băile Herculane – Caraş-Severin County, Vârghiş – Covasna County, Dobrogea - Valea Iortmac.

Lucanus tetraodon, common in central and southern Italy (Nieto et al. 2010), was collected from the Messina and Calabria areas in 1905. L. ibericus is found in southern Albania and Greece. Outside Europe, it is also known from the northern slopes of the Caucasus, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Turkey and Turkmenistan (Nieto et al. 2010). In the collections considered here, the species was

sampled from Turkey, Armenia, Asia and Asia Minor in 1898.

The stag beetle collections, along other entomological collections of the Natural History Museum of Sibiu, make an important contribution to the knowledge of the species distribution, both for Romania and worldwide.
