“…As a result, 3597 species of beetles are included in the new checklist. Based on the faunal data from neighbouring countries ( Lundberg and Gustafsson 1995 ; Silfverberg 2004 ; Telnov 2004 , 2010 ; Barševskis 2003 ; Barševskis et al 2005 ; Alexandrovitch et al 1996 ; Szujecki 1961 , 1976 ; Stebnicka 1976 , 1978 ; Smrezyński 1965 , 1966 , 1968 , 1972 , 1974 , 1976 ; Burakowski et al 1973 , 1974 , 1976 , 1978 , 1979 , 1980 , 1981 , 1986a , b , c , 1987 , 1989 , 1990 , 1991 ; Wanat and Mokrzycki 2005, Tarnawski and Buchholz 2008a , b ; Süda 2006 , 2009 ; Fauna Europaea Web Service (2009) and other faunistic works), a further 1390 species of beetles are included as expected species for Lithuanian fauna ( Table 5 ).…”

This paper presents the first complete and updated list of all 3597 species of beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) belonging to 92 familiesfound and published in Lithuania until 2011, with comments also provided on the main systematic and nomenclatural changes since the last monographic treatment in two volumes (Pileckis and Monsevičius 1995, 1997). The introductory section provides a general overview of the main features of the territory of Lithuania, the origins and formation of the beetle fauna and their conservation, the faunistic investigations in Lithuania to date revealing the most important stages of the faunistic research process with reference to the most prominent scientists, an overview of their work, and their contribution to Lithuanian coleopteran faunal research.Species recorded in Lithuania by some authors without reliable evidence and requiring further confirmation with new data are presented in a separate list, consisting of 183 species. For the first time, analysis of errors in works of Lithuanian authors concerning data on coleopteran fauna has been conducted and these errors have been corrected. All available published and Internet sources on beetles found in Lithuania have been considered in the current study. Over 630 literature sources on species composition of beetles, their distribution in Lithuania and neighbouring countries, and taxonomic revisions and changes are reviewed and cited. An alphabetical list of these literature sources is presented. After revision of public beetle collections in Lithuania, the authors propose to remove 43 species from the beetle species list of the country on the grounds, that they have been wrongly identified or published by mistake. For reasons of clarity, 19 previously noted but later excluded species are included in the current checklist with comments. Based on faunal data from neighbouring countries, species expected to occur in Lithuania are matnioned. In total 1390 species are attributed to this category and data on their distribution in neighbouring countries is presented. Completion of this study provides evidence that the Lithuanian coleopteran fauna has yet to be completely investigated and it is estimated that approximately 28 % of beetle species remain undiscovered in Lithuania. More than 85% of beetle species expected for Lithuania have been found in the following families: Cerylonidae, Geotrupidae, Haliplidae, Kateridae, Lycidae, Lucanidae, Mycetophagidae, Scarabaeidae and Silphidae. In families with few species such as Alexiidae, Boridae, Byturidae, Dascilidae, Drilidae, Eucinetidae, Lampyridae, Lymexilidae, Megalopodidae, Nemonychidae, Nosodendridae, Noteridae, Orsodacnidae, Pyrochroidae, Pythidae, Psephenidae, Rhysodidae, Sphaeritidae, Sphaeriusidae, Sphindidae, Stenotrahelidae and Trogidae, all possible species have already been discovered. However in some beetle families such as Aderidae, Bothrideridae, Eucnemidae, Laemoploeidae, Mordellidae, Ptiliidae, Scraptidae and Throscidae less than 50% of all possible species are known. At present the ...

“…Xyleborinus saxesenii —20% of analysed specimens contained the pathogen. The first record of X. saxesenii was in western Estonia from the Laulaste Nature Reserve, south-eastern Estonia in 2008 and from Matsalu, western Estonia in 2009 [ 111 ]. Later, X. saxesenii was found from two localities in South Estonia, Valga County: Koiva wooded meadow in 2013 and Soontaga in 2015, 2020.…”

“…The implementation of such highly efficient research methods as the use of window traps has helped to detect new woodland beetle species for Estonian fauna [ 111 , 115 ]. On the other hand, as a result of climate change, the spread of numerous southern beetle species to the north is clearly noticeable [ 115 ], especially in the last couple of decades.…”

Potential Dutch elm disease vector beetle species were caught with pheromone bottle traps and handpicked in 2019: in total, seven species and 261 specimens were collected. The most common was Scolytus triarmatus, but by percent, the incidence of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi was highest in Scolytus scolytus, followed by Xyleborinus saxesenii and S. triarmatus. We analysed the beetles’ DNA using PacBio sequencing to determine vector beetles of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi. Ophiostoma novo-ulmi was found on six out of seven analysed beetle species: Scolytus scolytus, S. triarmatus, S. multistriatus, S. laevis, Xyleborinus saxesenii and Xyleborus dispar. The last two beetles were detected as vectors for Ophiostoma novo-ulmi for the first time. Previous knowledge on the spread of beetles is discussed.

“…The majority of them were collected from forest habitats (Fig. 2) by I. Süda using trunk window traps (TWT) which were designed in 2004 (see Süda 2009;Sammet et al 2016). This type of trap has proved to be effective in collecting saproxylous and corticolous beetles (especially Eucnemidae species, with nocturnal activity), as well as several saproxylous and mycetophagous dipteran species (e.g., Keroplatus spp., family Keroplatidae; Dynatosoma spp., family Mycetophilidae).…”
