Abstract

This article reports material on three species of clown beetles (Coleoptera: Histeridae) for the first time for the fauna of Georgia. These are the following species: Margarinotus (Ptomister) brunneus (Fabricius, 1775), Saprinus aeneus (Fabricius, 1775) and S. planiusculus Motschulsky, 1849. The presented material is based on beetle collection in the vicinity of the Akhalsheni village located in Tsalka Municipality of Kvemo-Kartli Province. According to preliminary data, the list of Histeridae of Georgia contains 84 species, the species number for Abkhazia reaches up to 75, and the fauna of both Georgia and Abkhazia includes 100 species. Details of distribution and ecology of these beetles are discussed.
