Lamellicorn beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) of Kuril Islands (Sakhalin Region, Russia): taxonomical structure, fauna, ecology and zoogeography
Taxonomical structure and species composition of the Scarabaeoidea fauna of the Kuril Islands are analized. As a whole on the Kuril Archipelago 72 species of Scarabaeoidea from 31 genera of 15 tribes, 13 subfamilies and 4 families are revealed. Trox scaber (Linnaeus, 1767), Aegialia comis (Lewis, 18...

| Summary: | Taxonomical structure and species composition of the Scarabaeoidea fauna of the Kuril Islands are analized. As a whole on the Kuril Archipelago 72 species of Scarabaeoidea from 31 genera of 15 tribes, 13 subfamilies and 4 families are revealed. Trox scaber (Linnaeus, 1767), Aegialia comis (Lewis, 1895), Aphodius languidulus Schmidt, 1916, A. variabilis Waterhouse, 1875, A. nigrotessellatus (Motschulsky, 1866), A. sublimbatus (Motschulsky, 1860), A. troitzkyi Jacobson, 1897, A. lapponum Gyllenhal, 1808, Onthophagus bivertex Heyden, 1887, O. olsoufieffi Boucomont, 1924, O. atripennis Waterhous, 1875, Sericania fuscolineata Motschulsky, 1860, Holotrichia kiotonensis (Brenske, 1894), Trichius fasciatus (Linnaeus, 1758) are brought for the first time for reported the archipelago fauna. New species are revealed for 11 islands: Kunashir (14), Iturup (12), Shikotan (11), Polonsky (1), Zeleny (4), Urup (8), Simushir (4), Ketoy (1), Onekotan (1), Paramushir (4), Shumshu (4). Data on trophical specialization, phenology and spatial distribution of the species are given. The chorologiya taxis and zoogeographical features of the lamellicorn beetles fauna of the area of the Kuril Islands are considered. |
