FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK (SERIES NOVA) XXXII. 1. 1979 p. 5-10 Lamellicornia (Coleoptera) from Tunisia * By L. ÁDÁM (Received 10 December, 1978) Abstract: A list of Lamellicornia (Coleoptera) collected in Tunisia in 1977 is presented. Three species and a subspecies are new to the fauna of the country. The subsequent list of beetles collected by the research workers of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest in 19 77 comprises the material of the Lamellicornia. This rich material was especially noteworthy in the species of Melolonthidae and Scarabaeidae, yielding a total of seventy species. I was unable to determine one species owing to lack of literature and comparative material. The great majority of the species was known from Tunisia, which is not surprising since extensive collectings were made there in the past. Nevertheless, three species and a subspecies were found to be new to the fauna of that country. List of localities Sebka Sidi Bou Meftah, 8 km SE from El Kef, 25. March, 1977.
