P. O. Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 USA http://centerforsystematicentomology.org/ Insecta Mundi is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on any non-marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book reviews or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB Ab- stracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Chief Editor: Paul E. Skelley, e-mail: [email protected] Head Layout Editor: Eugenio H.

New country records for Coleoptera Scarabaeoidea are provided. For each species the distribution is given. Key Words. New country records, Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, Palaearctic. Introduction In anticipation of the second edition of the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, to be issued at a later date, we have decided to publish a multi-authored contribution to the knowledge of distribution of the Scarabaeoidea known to occur in the Palaearctic Region. 1 2 • INSECTA MUNDI 0409, February 2015 ZIANI ET AL. Numerous new or noteworthy country records are provided. For each species, the number and col- lecting data of examined specimens are given, and the distribution is specifi ed. Materials and Methods The reference starting point is the third volume of the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera edited by Löbl and Smetana (2006). We have considered all previous subgenera of Aphodius as distinct genera (see Dellacasa et al. 2001 for details) and have followed the nomenclature proposed by Pittino (2006) and Stebnicka (2011) regarding the subfamily Aegialiinae of Scarabaeidae. The suprageneric nomenclature follows, with some exceptions, the paper of Bouchart et al. (2011). The limits of the Palaearctic Region are according to those specifi ed in Löbl and Smetana (2006). The responsible author or authors for each record is/are stated at the end of the respective note. The following abbreviations identify the collections housing the material examined (names of cura- tors of institutional collections are in parentheses): AKCA — Andreas Kopetz collection, Amt Wachsenburg, Germany; BMNH — Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom (Maxwell V.
