In total, 33 species belonging to nine genera and four subfamilies are confirmed for Latvia. However, some of them, i.e. Dermestes ater DeGeer, D. erichsoni Ganglbauer, D. undulatus (Brahm), Trinodes hirtus (Fabricius), and Globicornis emarginata (Gyllenhal), are known only from old records, and new material is needed to confirm their occurrence in the local fauna. One species, Megatoma graeseri (Reitter, 1887) is recorded in Latvia for the first time. A complete bibliography of Latvian skin beetles is reviewed and analysed. The research history of Latvian Dermestidae is discussed. The Latvian fauna of skin beetles is represented by nine chorotypes. Cosmopolitan (13 or 39.4%) species are predominant in dermestid fauna of Latvia. Išanalizavus bibliografiją ir tyrimų istoriją sudarytas naujas anotuotas Latvijos kailiavabalių rūšių katalogas. Patvirtinta, kad Latvijos faunoje iš viso yra 33 šių vabalų rūšys, priklausančios 9 gentims ir 4 pošeimiams.
