A.V. Kovalev
Abstract. Three species of adventive beetles, Arthrolips fasciata (Erichson, 1842) from the family Corylophidae, Silvanoprus cephalotes (Reitter, 1876) and Psammoecus trimaculatus Motschulsky, 1858 from the family Silvanidae, are recorded from the Caucasian region and from Russia for the first time. Psammoecus trimaculatus is the first recorded from Europe, and A. fasciata and S. cephalotes are first recorded from Eastern Europe.
