November 2007 Corrigenda and addenda of Dermestidae in the “Catalogue of the Beetles (Coleoptera) of Israel and Adjacent Areas“ Jiří HÁVA, Tomáš PAVLÍČEK & Vladimir CHIKATUNOV Summary: Corrigenda and addenda of Dermestidae to the “Catalogue of the Beetles (Coleoptera) of Israel and Adjacent Areas“ are presented. The article describes the following new records from the territory of the State of Israel (including territory under a nominal control of the Palestinian Authority): Attagenus addendus J. Sahlberg, 1903; Attagenus barbieri Pic, 1946; Attagenus brunneopunctatus (Pic, 1893); Attagenus civetta (Mulsant et Rey, 1868); Attagenus cyphonoides Reitter, 1881; Attagenus leprieuri (Reitter, 1886); Attagenus scalaris (Pic, 1894); Attagenus simonis Reitter, 1881; Attagenus uniformis Fairmaire in Fairmaire et Coquerel, 1860; Globicornis (Globicornis) picta (Küster, 1851); Trogo- derma inclusum LeConte, 1854. The revision of literature records and material brought altogether 68 species of carpet beetles from Israel. The article contains furthermore comments about nomenclatural changes, errors in the earlier publications and identifications as well as the list of all known species from Israel.

Key words: Faunistics, new records, corrections of catalogue, Coleo- ptera, Dermestidae, Israel, the Levant. Introduction The first important records of the carpet beetles (family Dermestidae) in the Levant and Anatolia were published by SAHLBERG (1912-1913). He mentioned 17 valid species from the territory of the present State of Israel including the territories under the control of the Autonomous Palestinian Authority, but the presence of three of these species needs to be verified (see Discussion). Later, BODENHEIMER (1937) published the "Prodromus Fauna Palestinae" from approximately the same territory, in which he listed - based largely on literature research - 30 species of carpet beetles. Sixty three years later, CHIKATUNOV published the “Catalogue of the Beetles (Coleoptera) of Israel and Adjacent Areas“ (CHIKATUNOV 2000) where he mentioned 57 valid species of carpet beetles from Israel. CHIKA- TUNOVs work was based mainly on the material preserved in the insect collection of the Natural History Museum, Tel Aviv University. In addition, a few articles and books in which the carpet beetles were also mentioned (e.g. FINKEL et al. 2002, CHIKATUNOV et al. 2004) were pub- lished. Nevertheless, the introduction of extensive taxonomic and nomen- clatural changes in Dermestidae (HÁVA 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007), newly collected material, the revision of old samples, and the need for clari- fication of some repeated errors in published records are calling for an updating of the last mentioned Catalogue. In the present work, we do not separate from the State of Israel the territory of the autonomous Palestinian National Authority inaugurated in 1994, since the final status of this area still needs to be negotiated. The locality data of the studied material are given like on the original labels. Data on separate labels are indicated by slashes ( \ ). Moreover, following two acronyms refer to the collections, in which the examined material is deposited: NHMI Natural History Museum, Tel Aviv, Israel JHAC Private Entomological Laboratory and Collection, Jiří Háva, Prague, Czech Republic 118 Table 1.
