Abstract

The collection of the rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) in State Museum of Natural History (Lviv), National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is one of the richest and most famous collections of Ukraine. A great part of this collection consists of dry mounted specimens (about 5000) including about 700 species. This material is partly mounted, reordered, and catalogued. In this paper, we present a checklist of these specimens collected by several generations of entomologists in the 20-21th centuries from the territory and surrounding areas of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve (according to the labels). In general, there are 287 Staphylinidae specimens of 24 species of 16 genera and 6 subfamily (Aleocharinae – 8 species, Omaliinae – 2 species, Oxytelinae – 1 species, Staphylininae – 11 species, Tachyporinae – 2 species). Leptusa flavicornis Brancsik, 1874 is recorded in Ukraine for the first time.
