Abstract: A catalogue is presented covering the scarabaeoid beetles of Israel and
adjacent areas. In summary, we catalogued 386 species belonging to the families
Lucanidae, Trogidae, Geotrupidae, Ochodaeidae, Hybosoridae, Glaphyridae and
Scarabaeidae. Sixty three percent (242 species) of mentioned species were
collected from stated locality within Israel. The work was done by checking the
rich material preserved at the Zoological Museum, Tel Aviv University (TAU),
Israel and published data. For each species is included information about its
global and local distribution, and its relative abundance in Israel by the
authors’ opinion.
