Abstract

Ruchin AB, Egorov LV, Semishin GB. 2019. Ladybird beetles fauna (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) of the Republic of Mordovia, Russia. Biodiversitas 20: 316-327. The paper presents the first overview of Coccinellidae fauna of the Republic of Mordovia, Russia. Nowadays 46 species are reliably known in Mordovia. Of these, three species have firstly been registered in the Republic of Mordovia in recent years, namely Nephus bipunctatus, Hyperaspis erythrocephala, and Oenopia conglobata. In addition, three species were recommended to be excluded from the list of regional fauna.

Notes on the fauna of beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera) adjacent to the territory of the Mordovia State Nature Reserve

“…The Mordovia State Nature Reserve is surrouned by a diversity of landscapes and interesting biotopes. The coleopterofauna found in these areas has also been studied to a certain extent (Ruchin et al 2013;2019c;Ruchin, Egorov 2018e). Border landscapes are also habitats for a range of species, and, in some cases, they are home to certain ecological groups.…”

Fauna of some families of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the Republic of Mordovia (Russia)
