Abstract

Sphaerius acaroides iz porodice Sphaeriusidae (podred Myxophaga) je prvi nalaz za područje Srbije. Po svojoj veličini od oko 0,6 mm, predstavnici ove vrste su svakako najsitniji tvrdokrilci u fauni Evrope. Brojna populacija Sphaerius acaroides otkrivena je u periodu 2011-2012, u uzorcima obalske stelje na obali bare Majdan i Kelebijskom jezeru (Kelebija kod Subotice) a u 2012. godini i na području Gornjeg podunavlja, u plavnom delu Dunava kod Bogojeva. S obzirom na ekološke preference, ova vrsta tvrdokrilaca najverovatnije ima mnogo veće rasprostranje u Srbiji.
