Abstract

The rare rove beetle Lathrobium dilutum Erichson, 1839 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) is recorded from the Urals for the first time. The study is based on the material collected in Perm Krai using pitfall traps. For this study, 30 pitfall traps were deployed for five days in a garden plot within Perm City. This record of Lathrobium dilutum in Perm Krai extends its known range over 1,000 km eastward in Europe. In addition to Lathrobium dilutum, 59 beetle species from ten families were collected. The paper features photographs of the Lathrobium dilutum male and aedeagus.
