Journal Title: Baltic Journal of Coleopterology - Year 2009, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The article presents the summary of information on the occurrence and distribution of Oedemera subrobusta (Nakane, 1954) & Oedemera lurida (Marsham, 1802) (Hexapoda: Coleoptera, Oedemeridae) in Latvia. The information is based on the results of the review of the materials deposited in the beetle collection of Institute of Systematic Biology of Daugavpils University. Overall, 514 specimens of these species have been examined: (Oe. subrobusta (Nakane) 62 specimens; Oe. lurida (Marsh.) 452 specimens). Both species have been found in the whole territory of Latvia: Oe. subrobusta (Nakane) is known from 12 findings, but Oe. lurida (Marsh.) is known from 97 findings. Oe. lurida (Marsh.) can be encountered in Latvia much more frequently. In some findings in Latvia, both the species have been found living together. The article presents the key aimed at determination of both species. The article initiates the series of publications concerning the species of the Oedemeridae family in the fauna of Latvia, therefore it also includes a complete systematic list of taxons of Oedemeridae in the fauna of Latvia (15 species).
