Abstract
The scarab beetles Ateuchetus armeniacus (Ménétries, 1832) and Gymnopleurus flagellatus (Fabricius, 1787) (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) are recorded for the first time inside burrows of two Spermophilus species (Mammalia). The observations concern nests of Spermophilus fulvus (Lichtenstein, 1823) in eastern, northwestern and western Iran, and Spermophilus xanthoprymnus (Bennet, 1835) in northwestern Iran. Neither of these beetles was known to be associated, not even occasionally, with burrows of small mammals.
