New data on the beetle fauna of the Abruzzi region (Central Italy) are presented. New data on ecology and distribution are provided for three species of Cerambycidae previously recorded for the region and three species (one Cerambycidae and two Scarabaeoidea) are recorder for the first time for the region: Agapanthia (Epoptes) cynarae (Germar, 1817), Copris hispanus cavolinii (Petagna, 1792), Triodontella nitidula (Rossi, 1790).
Twelve species are reported from various Italian regions for the first time and in detail: Acritus komai, Aeletes atomarius, Stenopleurum rothi, Bacanius consobrinus, Cyclobacanius soliman, Dendrophilus punctatus, Paromalus filum,
Paromalus parallelepipedus, Platylomalus complanatus, Margarinotus purpurascens, Saprinus planiusculus, and Saprinus virescens. The new findings have been documented with photographs and information on the website 'Forum Entomologi Italiani', except those of
Acritus komai, Aeletes atomarius and Paromalus filum. On the other hand, Hister unicolor must be excluded from the Sardinian histerid fauna because the only literature record for the island has been proved to be false.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
