Abstract
According to research materials collected during faunal campaigns, made in Sicily in the last years, ten new Scarabaeoidea insects were reported in Circumsicilians Islands. In particular, I would signalize: in the Island of Pantelleria the Hybosorus illigeri Reiche, 1853 and the Oryctes nasicornis grypus (Illiger, 1803); in the Islands of Favignana and Marettimo the Phyllognathus excavatus (Forster, 1771); in the Island of Favignana the Anomius castaneus (Illiger, 1803), the Euoniticellus pallipes (Fabricius, 1798) and the Trox fabricii Re-iche, 1853; in the Island of Marettimo the Protaetia (Potosia) hypocrita (Ragusa, 1905); in the Aegadian Islands and Ustica Island the Aethiessa floralis squamosa (Gory et Percheron, 1833) and the Tropinota (Tropinota) squallida squallida (Scopoli, 1763); in the Aegadian Islands the Oxythyrea funesta (Poda, 1761). On the whole, there are 82 species of beetles around Circumsicilian Islands and the interconnections betweens numbers of these insects for each islet and the surface are positive.
