Abstract

The article contains information on the beetles of the genera Haploglossa Kraatz, 1856, and Atheta Thomson, 1858, (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) recorded in bird nests in Belarus. 1 603 nests belonging to 123 bird species were studied from 2002 to 2015. Only 169 nests (10.5% of all the studied nests) belonging to 44 bird species were inhabited by the species of the analyzed genera. 4 species of the genus Haploglossa and 11 species of the genus Atheta (2 340 samples) were collected in the bird nests. The most common species were Haploglossa picipennis (Gyllenhal, 1827) and Atheta vaga Heer, 1839. Atheta zosterae (Thomson, 1856) is recorded for the first time for the fauna of Belarus. Beetles from the genus Haploglossa were found in the nests of 28 bird species and in the nests of 33 bird species in the case of Atheta. The highest index of occurrence (46.6%) was found for A. vaga Heer, 1839 and 28.2% for H. picipennis.
