In the „Arion-Panin” entomological collection of the Research-Development Institute for Plant Protection (RDIPP) a number of 215 pieces belonging to 8 (from a total of 38) protected Coleoptera „Natura2000” species (Carabus variolosus, Cerambyx cerdo, Cucujus cinnaberinus, Lucanus cervus, Morimus funereus, Osmoderma barnabita and Rosalia alpina) are conserved. The pieces have been collected from various areas, from which 10 of them are presently included in the Romanian Natura 2000 protected areas network. The zoogeographical value of the specimens is considerable, due to the fact they represent historical Romanian fauna records. Some species are now unknown in the places they were collected, as in the case of the Rosalia alpina specimen collected from a house wall in Bucharest.
