Entomol. Fennica 30: 114125. https://doi.org/ 10.33338/ef.84086 The paper presents new data on the occurrence of 69 beetle species collected in 2017 in the Bia³owie¿a Forest, NE Poland. The list contains representatives of 27 families: Anthribidae, Bostrichidae, Ciidae, Cleridae, Coccinellidae, Corylo- phidae, Cryptophagidae, Curculionidae, Dasytidae, Elateridae, Endomychidae, Eucnemidae, Histeridae, Laemophloeidae, Latridiidae, Leiodidae, Lycidae, Me- landryidae, Mycetophagidae, Ptinidae, Ripiphoridae, Salpingidae, Staphyli- nidae, Tenebrionidae, Tetratomidae, Throscidae, and Zopheridae. The majority of the species represents saproxylic, i.e. dead wood-dependent, beetles. Biology and distribution of some rarely recorded species are briefly discussed. All species are reported for the first time from the Bia³owie¿a Forest and, furthermore, Corticaria crenicollis Mannerheim, 1844 (Latridiidae) is new for the fauna of Poland. R. Plewa, T.
