Abstract
Handsome fungus beetle Lycoperdina succincta (Linnaeus, 1767) from the family Endomychidae is the first recorded from Kazakhstan (North Kazakhstan, Akmola, and North Kazakhstan regions and South-East Kazakhstan, Almaty region). The finds of L. succincta from the Almaty region of Kazakhstan are currently the southernmost localities for this species and a new record for Central Asia. Coprinus comatus (O.F. Müller) Persoon, 1797, Tulostoma volvulatum I.G. Borshchov, 1865, Bovistella utriformis (Bulliard) Demoulin & Rebriev, 2017 and Tricholoma terreum (Schaeffer) P. Kummer, 1871 for L. succincta were recorded from Lazakhstan also. A key to  determining the  known genera and species of Endomychidae from Kazakhstan is given.
Highlights
130 genera and 1800 species of the handsome fungus beetles Endomychidae are known from the world fauna (Ślipiński, Leschen and Lawrence 2011), and about 9 genera and more than 30 species from the former USSR (Lafer 1992)
The records of Lycoperdina succincta are absent for Kazakhstan (Tomaszewska, Rücker and Löbl 2007; Shockley et al 2009)
It is possible that the species was accidentally introduced to the Almaty region from the north of Kazakhstan with planting material of the plants or the products, like some other species of Coleoptera (Temreshev and Makezhanov 2019, Temreshev and Kazenas 2020)
Summary
130 genera and 1800 species of the handsome fungus beetles Endomychidae are known from the world fauna (Ślipiński, Leschen and Lawrence 2011), and about 9 genera and more than 30 species from the former USSR (Lafer 1992). Schulsky, 1835, and Mycetina cruciata Schaller, 1783 were known from Kazakhstan (Tomaszewska, Rücker and Löbl 2007; Shockley et al 2009; Temreshev 2017). Some representatives are pests of stocks and / or invasive species (Lafer 1992; Mordkovich and Sokolov 1999; Tomaszewska 2000; Robinson 2005; Drake 2009; Hagstrum and Subramanyam 2009; Shockley et al 2009; Denux and Zagatti 2010; Roques et al 2010; Temreshev 2017; Endomychidae in GBIF Secretariat 2021)
