Keywords:
Coleoptera; Mordellidae; Natirrica; ecology; diagnostic featuresAbstract
The species composition of the mordellid beetles of the genus Natirrica has been analyzed. It is established that
4 species belonging to the genus inhabit the territory of Belarus: Natirrica humeralis (Linnaeus, 1758), N. rufifrons
(Schilsky, 1894), N. variegata (Fabricius, 1798) and N. neuwaldeggiana (Panzer, 1796). They belong to the forestassociated
species group of mordellid beetles. Imago are most numerous in June and July. They prefer to feed on the
pollen of plants in the Umbelliferae and Rubiaceae families. The larva is known only for Natirrica humeralis. Species
Natirrica humeralis and N. variegata are common throughout Belarus. The main diagnostic features for determining
the species of the genus Natirrica are the color of the body and antennae, the morphological features of the temples
and the left paramere, the most complete description of which is given in the article.
