Abstract

Entomological collections of the Natural History Museum in Belgrade were reviewed. Thirty-six species of the Malachiidae family were identified in the collections of the museum. New species for Serbian fauna are Charopus flavipes Paykull, 1798, Hypebaeus flavipes (Fabricius, 1787), Ebaeus gibbus (Drapiez, 1819), Ebaeus thoracicus (Geoffroy, 1785), Sphinginus lobatus (Olivier, 1790), Clanoptilus falcifer (Abeille de Perrin, 1882), Malachius scutellaris Erichson, 1840, Anthocomus equestris (Fabricius, 1781), Anthocomus coccineus (Schaller, 1783). New species for fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina are Colotes obsoletus Erichson, 1840 and Hypebaeus flavicollis (Erichson, 1840). Ebaeus gibbus is a new species for Montenegro. An annotated species list is provided. Locations and dates of findings, as well as a distribution of each species and short comments are given.
