Abrolophus quisquiliarus was described based on adults and was known from many European countries ( BERON 2008, MĄKOL & WOHLTMANN 2012). A. pseudolongicollis and A. pseudolongicollis kiejstuti were described based on larvae ( HAITLINGER 1987a, 2006) and synonymized with A. quisquiliauis by ŁAYDANOWICZ & MĄKOL (2008) but without reason for synonymisation. Now we have larvae obtained from field-collected females of A. quisquiliarus. These larvae and larvae of A. pseudolongicollis were compared with A. montenegrinus described from Montenegro by SABOORI et al. (2012). Metric and meristic data of A. montenegrinus are identical with these for A. quisquiliarus ( Tab. 2 ). Based on these data we found that A. montenegrinus is synonym of A. quisquiliarus.
