Abstract
Twelve species of beetles (Coleoptera) from the families Dytiscidae, Hydrophilidae, Leiodidae, Nitidulidae, and Scraptiidae are recorded for the Kamchatka Krai for the first time. Two species, Ilybius subaeneus Erichson, 1837 (Dytiscidae) and Cercyon emarginatus Baranowski, 1985 stat. rev. (Hydrophilidae) are recorded for the Russian Far East for the first time, first from Kamchatka and second from Primorsky Krai. Cercyon borealis Baranowski, 1985 (Hydrophilidae) is recorded for the first time from Kamchatka and Jewish Autonomous Oblast. New data on the occurrence of the little-known Leiodes shigehisai Hoshina, 2012 (Leiodidae), on the Kamchatka Peninsula is provided. These new records increase the total number of beetle species known from the Kamchatka Krai to 865.
