COLLEMBOLAN COMMUNITIES (HEXAPODA: COLLEMBOLA) FROM THE BUZĂU LAND GEOPARK (BUZĂU MOUNTAINS, ROMANIA)

The authors present the Collembola species collected from the Buzău Land Geopark (Buzău Mountains, Romania). The uniqueness of the Buzău Land Geopark is illustrated by the presence of very rare collembolan species such as Friesea afurcata (Denis, 1926), Deutonura phlegraea (Caroli, 1910), Xenylla welchi Folsom, 1916, Desoria tigrina Nicolet, 1842, Tetracanthella transylvanica Cassagnau, 1959 and Neanura parva (Stach, 1951). We also mention here Orchesella maculosa Ionescu, 1915, an endemic species for the Carpathian Mountains (Romania and Ukraine)
