    ABSTRACT
    The occurrence of Anthaxia (Anthaxia) lucens Küster, 1852 (Coleoptera Buprestidae) in Inviolata Regional Park (Latium) has been recently reported in a checklist. Here we describe these observations and we add new records for this population in the locality of Tor Mastorta. Furthermore, we show data of a new site, approximately 2 km in a straight line from the latter one, still in the Municipality of Guidonia Montecelio (Rome). These two locations, together with another population in Segni (Rome), constitute three new spots for this species in Latium, for which only extremely ancient data were available. Moreover, the presence of the species within the proposed extension boundaries of the aforementioned Park supports the upgrade validity of this protected area.
