Survey of order Coleoptera attracted to light traps in Alexandria Governorate with two species newly recorded to Egyptian fauna

Abstract

A survey of coleopterous insects was conducted at Alexandria Governorate (Burg Al-Arab and Al-Amria districts) during two successive  years from April 2018 to March 2020 using Robinson light traps set up at Alexandria in Burg Al-Arab (Burg Al-Arab regions) and Al-Amria  (Rahim and Gurisat regions). The collected individuals were separated, listed, and identified under their related families, genera, and species (25 families and 76 species). Psyllobora renifer Cas. (Family: Coccinellidae) and Digonums irroratus Kiesen (Family: Ptinidae) are newly recorded to the Egyptian fauna and collected for the first time from our fauna.
