Merkl Ottó, Podlussány Attila és Szalóki Dezső: Ötvenkét bogárcsalád adatai a Látrányi Puszta Természetvédelmi Területről (Coleoptera) - Species of 52 beetle families (Coleoptera) from the Látrányi puszta Nature Conservation Area (Somogy county, Hungary)

MERKL О., PODLUSSÁNY A., SZALÓKI и.: BOGARAK (COLEOPTERA) 171 Species of 52 beetle families (Coleoptera) from the Latrányi Puszta Nature Conservation Area (Somogy county, Hungary) OTTÓ MERKL, ATTILA PODLUSSÁNY & DEZSŐ SZALÓKI The paper lists 552 beetle species belonging to 52 families of various subfamilies collected in the Latrányi Puszta Nature Conservation Area (Somogy county, South-Western Hungary, 46°44'00" N, 17°46*00" E). The area is covered predominantly by sandy grasslands, with wet meadows in the depressions between the dunes. Willow and alder woods as well as plantations of Scotch pine are also present. Most of the recorded species are widely distributed all over Hungary. The first reliably identified specimen of Carpelimus subtilis (Erichson, 1839) (Staphylinidae) from Hungary is recorded from this area. Cerocoma schreberi Fabricius, 1781 (Meloidae), Zonitis praeusta (Meloidae) Fabricius, 1792 and Brachycerus foveicollis Gyllenhal, 1833 (Brachyceridae) are typical elements of steppic grasslands. Pytho depressus (Linnaeus, 1767) (Pythidae) has been found in the pine plantation; this record represents the third locality of the species in Hungary. Seventy-two species (marked with * in the list of species) are reported for the first time from Somogy county.
