Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of literary and own data on the distribution of the coleopterous insects of the Nitidulidae family on the territory of the Zakarpattia region of Ukraine. As a result of research, the presence of 41 species of sap-beetles belonging to 13 genera was established in the composition of the entomological fauna of the Zakarpattia region. The largest number of species is characteristic of the genera Epuraea (17 species) and Meligethes (8 species). Other genera are presented in the follow number of the species: Carpophilus – 2, Ipidia – 1, Omosita – 1, Soronia – 1, Cychramus – 2, Cyllodes – 1, Thalycra – 1, Cryptarcha – 2, Glischrochilus – 3, Pityophagus – 1. Information is provided on the typical localities (biotopes) and ecological preferences of the species, as well as the periods of imago activity.
