Eleven species of the subgenus Lumetus Zaitzev, 1908 of the genus Enochrus Thomson, 1859 are recorded from Russia and adjacent countries. Enochrus ater (Kuwert, 1888) is recorded for the first time from Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan; E. bicolor (Fabricius, 1792), from Kyrgyzstan; E. fuscipennis (Thomson, 1884), from Georgia; E. segmentinotatus (Kuwert, 18...

The variegated mud-loving beetles use an acoustic channel to communicate each other. They produce sound by scarping hindleg plectrum over stridulatory file. This study explores, for the first-time difference on these structure for Augyles and Heterocerus. The research is based on image the sound-producing structures on scanning electron microscope....

Holarctic species Platypsyllus castoris Ritsema, 1869 previously noted in Palaearctic only Europe and European part of Russia is found in Siberia (Russia, Altai Krai) for the first time. This species was collected on Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber Linnaeus, 1758).

The geographical location and variety of natural zones (forest-steppe, steppe, semi-desert) of the Saratov Oblast creates unique conditions for the formation of the aquatic beetle fauna in the region. Due to the penetration of island and floodplain forests (and associated water bodies) into the forest-steppe and steppe zones of the Right-bank Volga...
