Abstract

We present an updated checklist for Madeira Archipelago's Scarabaeoidea Latreille, 1802, fauna. Considerable change has been observed over the last 15 years: four alien Cetoniidae (Cetonia aurataeformis, Protaetia cuprea brancoi, P. opaca and Oxythyrea funesta) have started to breed successfully in Madeira and Porto Santo islands. The following species (based on only a few specimens) are added as new records: Geotrupes spiniger (Geotrupidae) and Oryctes nasicornis grypus (Dynastidae). Both these families are also recorded for the first time.
