As these were more or less just occasional observations we estimate that the Lepidoptera fauna is presented here with more than 1.500 Species. Already this number indicates the importance of Kozjanski Park for the protection of rare and protected species, although their scope is relatively small protected area of 260 km2, but very important and rich on the biodiversity. The area is a kind of refugee for many rare and endangered species of plants and animals. Park is also a part of Unesco Biosphere Areas (Kozjansko and Obsotelje). As many butterflies and moths species are strictly seasonal and prefer only a particular set of habitats, they are good indicators in terms of anthropogenic disturbance and habitat quality.

Despite the proximity of Sredna Gora Mountains to Sofia, the insect assemblages of this region are poorly studied. As a result of two studies carried out as a part of an Environmental Impact Assessment in the Natura 2000 Protected Areas: Sredna Gora and Popintsi, a rich diversity of insects was discovered, with 107 saproxylic and epigeobiont Coleoptera species and 355 Lepidoptera species recorded. This research was conducted during a short one-season field study in the surrounding areas of the town of Panagyurishte and Oborishte Village. Special attention was paid to protected species and their conservation status. Of the Coleoptera recorded, 22 species were of conservation significance. Forty-five Lepidoptera species of conservation importance were also recorded. KEY WORDS.WORDS.

Dazu ist allerdings zu bedenken, daß in die „Familie Conopidae" bis in die allerjüngste Zeit die Stylogastridae eingeschlossen wurden. Enderlein (1936) ver- wendet für die beiden Schwestergruppen die Namen Archischiza (mit der einzigen Familie Conopidae) und Muscaria (alle übrigen Schizophora). Seguy (1951 in Grasse) nennt sie, weniger glücklich, Conopoidea und Muscoidea. Auch Hendel (1936/37 in Kükenthal -Krumbach) und Rohdendorf (1964) vertreten die Annahme, daß zwischen den beiden Gruppen ein Schwestergruppenverhältnis besteht. Rohdendorf bringt das in seiner Stammbaumzeichnung (p. 265, Fig. 85) und Hendel mit Worten (p. 1876) zum Ausdruck: „Die sonst spezialisierten Conopiden zweigen danach vor der Gabe- lung der Schizophoren in Acalyptratae und Calyptratae ab ..." In ihren Systemen lassen beide Autoren ihre Überzeugung allerdings nicht erkennen; denn beide sind Anhänger einer typologischen Systematik: Ihre Systeme sind keine genauen Darstel- lungen der von ihnen angenommenen phylogenetischen Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen. Mit der Frage, ob die Annahme eines Schwestergruppenverhältnisses zwischen den Archischiza und den Muscaria (bzw. Conopoidea und Muscoidea im Sinne von Seguy) berechtigt ist, habe ich mich früher (1958) auseinandergesetzt mit dem auch heute noch gültigen Ergebnis, daß man „trotz der noch durchaus unzulänglichen Begründung das Bestehen eines Schwestergruppenverhältnisses zwischen den Conopidae und den ,übrigen Schizophora' doch wohl für wahrscheinlich halten" muß.

Timus Institute of Zoology, Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Chişinau, e-mal: [email protected] In spring of 2016the Conops quadrifasciatus De Geer, 1776 species (Diptera, Conopidae) was recorded in the Republic of Moldova. The specimens of this spe- cies were observed in 03.IV.2016 on the plants from campus of SAUM. The species is aentomological curiosity, because imago presents phenomenon of the mimicrism and is very similar to wasps. For the first time in native literature, the species was mentions in “Animal world. Insects. 1983”: “Species widespread in the USSR, Eastern Europe and Asia Minor is “bolishegolovka 4-h polosnaia” C.quadrifasciatus”. According to the passage it goes without saying that, the species is widespread in the Republic of Moldova too. Other sources indicated that the species spreads from Europe to Siberia, and most often in Central Europe. According to the database of the Fauna Europaea, this species is re- corded in the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Czech Repub- lic, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithua- nia, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden. For Moldova is indicated as – absent, but for neighbouring states as follows: Romania – present and Ukraine – absent. Description.
