Abstract
Isophya posthumoidalis is a rare species native to Central Europe that is only found in a very small area of Poland, Slovakia, and Romania. Since Bazyluk’s description in 1971, it has been regarded as endemic to the Eastern Bieszczady mountains. In 1976, we discovered this species in Zakarpattia Province (Transcarpathia, Ukraine), but the records were not published, because there were no males available. Due to the analysis of a male’s acoustical signals in 2022, further confirmation was obtained.

It publishes original research or review articles dealing with all aspects of general zoology (taxonomy, systematics, evolutionism, faunistics, zoogeography, palaeozoology, animal ecology, invasive species of animals, parasitism, biodiversity conservation). Also, some book reviews, anniversaries and obituaries of some personalities of science world can be accepted to be published in this journal. In the present, the only language accepted for this journal is English. The scope of the journal is to publish, disseminate and provide open access to the results of the original studies made in different zoological fields, in Romania and worldwide. Every submitted manuscript is subject to peer-review, being reviewed by at least two peers qualified to evaluate it. Distinguished authorities form the international advisory board which guarantees the high scientific profile of the journal.
