Abstract
The Dalmatian coast and islands were mainly investigated by
entomologists during the 19th and 20th centuries, but only few species were recorded for the beetle fauna of Kornati Islands, observed after a few sporadic and short-term studies. In 2009, members of the student organization “BIUS” carried out a faunistic survey of the islands Kornat, Žut and Lavsa in order to compile a more comprehensive species inventory of the families Carabidae,
Cerembycidae and the superfamily Scarabaeoidea of these islands. Altogether 39 species belonging to the studied groups were found, 35 of them recorded on those islands for the first time. The most interesting was the record of Parmena bicincta Küster, 1849 (Cerambycidae), an endemic species of the Adriatic coast area. This is the first record of this species on Lavsa Island.
