protected massif is located on the south-west slopes of Chornohora mountain range within
the altitudes from 700 to 2061 m asl. The highest summit is Hoverla Mt. The climate of
Chornohora Mts is temperate or cool at the forest zone up to 1400-1600 m a.s.l. and cold
subalpine or alpine (tundra) at the high-montane zone, with large precipitations amount about
1400-1700 mm.

Material and methods

The collection of the rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) in State Museum of Natural
History (Lviv), National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is one of the richest and most
famous collections of Ukraine. A great part of this collection consists of dry mounted
specimens (about 5000) including about 700 species. This material is partly mounted,
reordered, and catalogued. In this paper, we present a checklist of these specimens collected
by several generations of entomologists from early 20 until 21 centuries from the Carpathian
Biosphere Reserve and adjacent areas.
Samples were collected from: 1. Turkul – Zakarpatska Region, Rakhiv District,
Hoverla village, Chornohora Mts, Mt Turkul [Chornohora massif, Carpathian BR], 1933 m
a.s.l. (48.123546 N, 24.530304 E); 2. Polianskyi - Zakarpatska Region, Rakhiv District,
Dilove village, Maramaros Mts, Mt Polianskyi [Kuzii massif, Carpathian BR], 850 m a.s.l.,
fir-beech forest 160-180 years old (47.936723 N, 24.132009 E); 3. Kuzii - Zakarpatska
region, Rakhiv district, Luh village, Maramaros Mts, Kuzii site [Kuzii massif, Carpathian
BR], 380 m a.s.l., derivate beech forest mixed with fir and spruce 60-80 years old (47.934847
N, 24.125106 E) (Fig. 1).
