Abstract

The article examines the species composition of the Coleoptera families Lycidae, Lampyridae, Cantharidae, and Melyridae of the fauna of some specially protected natural territories of Brest region. The largest number of species of the studied families has been noted in the National Park “Belovezhskaya Pushcha” — 47 species. In the Landscape Reserve “Stronga” 26 species have been recorded. In the Landscape Reserves “Vygonoshchanskoe” and “Zvanets”, significantly fewer species were recorded (12 and 14 species, respectively). Among the studied families,
soldier beetles (Cantharidae) have the richest species composition — 27 species. From the melirids (Melyridae), only 10 species have been noted, and from the net-winged beetles family (Lycidae) — 7 species.
