The present World Catalogue of the family Bostrichidae (Coleoptera, Bostrichiformia) includes all taxa described up to 31 December 2023 and contains a complete list of subfamilies, tribes, genera, subgenera, species and subspecies, including synonyms. This book also contains detailed distributions for 98 genera and 599 species and subspecies for individual countries, broken down into zoogeographic regions. For selected "larger" countries (Russia, China, India, Australia, Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina), a finer division into subregions was used, which often followed the administrative divisions (states, districts, provinces) of these countries. The storage of the vast majority of the type material in public and private collections (if known) is indicated. All original descriptions of the taxa and several other publications dealing with the distribution of these species are listed in the bibliography.

A catalogue of Lithuanian beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera)? is the first most comprehensive publication on Lithuanian beetle fauna. This volume provides a general overview of the main features of Lithuanian territory, the origins and formation of the beetle fauna and their conservation measures, the faunistic investigations in Lithuania to date revealing the most important stages of the research process. Basing on the published and interactive sources since 1830 the full lists of recorded and expected for Lithuania beetle species as well as enlarged list of references have been compiled in the catalogue. After revision of public beetle collections in Lithuania, the authors propose to remove 43 species from the beetle species list of the country on the grounds they have been wrongly identified or published by mistake. The information published in the monograph will serve to further research Lithuanian beetles.

This monograph contents a review of the beetle family Trogossitidae (Cleroidea). The worldwide distributed family includes 55 recent and 10 extinct genera with about 600 species that are classified within 3 subfamilies and 12 tribes. In spite of fewer number of species, Trogossitidae is morphologically and ecologically extremely diversified. There are four-eyed predators that fly, run and even jump around swiftly in forest clearings to contrast with slow-moving, fungivorous species that dwell under the bark of old trees. There are also species that squat on flowers to feed on pollen grains as well as minute creatures that have been extracted from forest litter. Brief descriptions of all genera as well as keys to all higher taxa are provided. All known species and subspecies are listed, together with complete taxonomic references back to 1910, the date of issue of their last catalogue. The work includes maps of distribution of all genera, colour photographs of generic representatives, SEM photographs and remarks on a phylogeny of particular taxa.
