Abstract

- On the basis of literature data and personally collected entomological material, we made a faunistic and

zoogeographical analysis of the family Scarabaeidae in Serbia. A total of 178 species, 83 genera, 15 tribes, and 7

subfamilies of the family Scarabaeidae are recorded from Serbia. The majority of findings are from the territory of

northern Serbia, while western Serbia is the least explored region. Most of the species have a wide distribution range;

therefore on the basis of the zoogeographical classification, 65.17% of the species belong to some of the Holarctic

chorotypes, 34.27% of the species are included in some of the European chorotypes, while 0.56% are subcosmopolitan.

INTRODUCTION

The family Scarabaeidae is a large and very diverse

group of Coleoptera.

According to some estimates,

more than

28,000

species are known worldwide

(Grimaldi and Engel, 2005). The monophyly of the

family is well established and is based on the

following characteristics: (1) adult antennae are

with a club or lamellate apex; (2) the fore legs are

adapted for burrowing, with large fore coxae and

tibiae with a series of teeth; (3) the hind wings have

reduced venation and a characteristic folding

mechanism; (4) tergite VIII forms a true pygidium

and is not concealed by tergite VII; (5) there are

four Malpighian tubules as part of the excretory

system; and (6) larvae are of scarabaeiform type.

Phylogenetic research indicates, however, that

the family Scarabaeidae is not a monophyletic

group. Today, everything from 13 (American

authors) to as many as 25 (European authors)

families are recognized (Kohlmann, 2006).

The most comprehensive research on

Scarabaeidae from the region that included Serbia

(as well as other ex-Yugoslav countries) was made

by Mikšić (1958, 1962, 1965). The majority of

other authors focused only on certain localities in

Serbia. One of the goals of this work is to provide a

close estimate of the composition and number of

species that are distributed in Serbia. In this paper

the analysis of species from the Scarabaeidae

family has been undertaken. Using data from the

works of numerous authors and from the first

author collection, a table overview of all registered

species and localities where they were collected is

given (Table 1).

With regard to the results of this study, presented in

Table 1, the existence of 178 species, 83 genera, 15

tribes, and 7 subfamilies from the family

Scara-baeidae have been confirmed. Today, with over

28,000 known species, Scarabaeidae is the largest

fa-mily of the superfafa-mily Scarabaeoidea, comprising

91% of the total number of species of the

superfami-ly. Within Scarabaeidae, the subfamilies Aphodiinae

and Scarabaeinae, with approximately 6,850 species

worldwide, represent 22% of the total species of

Scarabaeoidea, or 25% of the known species of

Scarabaeidae. The subfamilies Orphninae,

Melolon-thinae, Dynastinae, Rutelinae, and Cetoniinae

in-clude about 20,950 species, or 69% of all known

Scarabaeoidea worldwide and 75% of the known

Scarabaeidae (Ratcliffe and Jameson, 2004).

The genera

Onthophagus

Latreille, 1802

(Scarabaeinae), with 17 noted species (9.55% of

the total analyzed species),

Anisoplia

Schoenherr,

1817 (Rutelinae), with 11 species (6.18%), and

Hoplia

Illiger, 1803 and

Amphimallon

Berthold,

1827 (Melolonthinae), each with seven species

(3.93% each), stand out as the most numerous in

Serbia. The tribes Anomalini (Rutelinae) and

Onthophagini (Scarabaeinae) each have 21 species

(11.80% each), while the tribe Rhizotrogini

(Melo-lonthinae) is represented with 16 species (9.00%).

The largest subfamily Aphodiinae has 68 species

(38.20%), and following after it are the subfamilies

Melolonthinae, with 37 species (20.78%), and

Scarabaeinae, with 32 species (17.98%).

Within the family Scarabaeidae and subfamily

Aphodiinae, 52 species have been recorded from

north Serbia, 34 species from central Serbia, two

species from west Serbia, 33 species from east

Serbia, 10 species from south-west Serbia, and 15

species from south Serbia. The subfamily

Ceto-niinae is represented with 14 species from north

Serbia, 15 species from Central Serbia, one species

from West Serbia, 11 species from East Serbia, five

species from south-west Serbia, and seven species

from south Serbia. The subfamily Dynastinae was

found to have two species from north Serbia, two

Serbia, one species from south-west Serbia, and

one species from south Serbia. From the subfamily

Melolonthinae, 29 species were recorded from

north Serbia, 20 species from central Serbia, one

species from west Serbia, 14 species from east

Serbia, five species from south-west Serbia, and 15

species from south Serbia. The subfamily

Orphni-nae is represented with one species from north

Serbia. For the subfamily Rutelinae, 13 species

have been noted to be from north Serbia, 15

spe-cies from central Serbia, two spespe-cies from west

Serbia, nine species from east Serbia, and six

spe-cies from south Serbia. The subfamily

Scarabaei-nae is represented with 31 species from north

Ser-bia, 21 species from central SerSer-bia, two species

from west Serbia, 17 species from east Serbia, 12

species from south-west Serbia, and 18 species

from south Serbia.

A total of 142 species have been recorded from

north Serbia, 107 species from central Serbia, eight

species from west Serbia, 86 species from east

Serbia, 33 species from south-west Serbia, and 62

species from south Serbia. For five of the species the

exact locality of their collection is not known.

Con-cerning Scarabaeidae, it follows that north Serbia

(Vojvodina Province) is the best characterized area,

while west Serbia is the least explored region.

(10)

West Palaearctic chorotype, 23 species (12.92%)

are classified under the Eurasian chorotype, six

species (3.37%) belong to Euro-Siberian

chorotype, three species (1.68%) to the

Euro-Turano-Mediterranean chorotype, 15 species

(8.43%) to Euro-Turanean chorotype, and eight

species (4.49%) are part of Euro-Mediterranean

chorotype. Among the chorotypes of Europe, 24

species (13.48%) belong to the European

chorotype, seven species (3.95%) to the Central

European chorotype, and 30 species (16.85%) are

part of the South European chorotype.
