PEŠIZABSTRACT: From Montenegro, one species of Heteroptera, Lethocerus patruelis, and eight species of Coleoptera,Ampedus cardinalis, Cardiophorus anticus (Elateridae), Diaperis boleti, Iphthiminus italicus croaticus, Opatrumverrucosum, Pedinus helopioides (Tenebrionidae), Prostomis mandibularis (Prostomidae), Camptorhinus simplex(Curculionidae) are recorded for the first time. Pytho depressus (Pythidae) is recorded for the first time from Bulgaria.In 2009, 2010 and 2011 the first author visited several times Montenegro and Bulgaria in orderto investigate the fauna of aquatic insects (Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, Trichoptera).During the trips there were opportunities to collect other insects as well, including saproxylicbeetles. In this paper new country records of one species of true bugs (Heteroptera) and ninespecies of beetles (Coleoptera) are presented.The following species collected in 2009 and 2010 in Montenegro proved to be new to thecountry: Lethocerus patruelis (cf. OLIVIERI 2009), Eucnemis capucina (cf. MUONA 2007),Fig. 1.

CATE 2007), Diaperis boleti, Iphthiminus italicuscroaticus, Opatrum verrucosum, Pedinus helopioides (cf. LÖBLet al. 2008), Prostomis mandibularis(cf. SCHAWALLER 2008), Camptorhinus simplex (cf. STUEBEN 2011). Of the collecting sites inMontenegro, the chestnut forest around Krajina in the Rumija Mts (Fig. 1) deserves specialmention, which is a habitat of the following species: Ampedus cardinalis, Cardiophorus anticus,Diaperis boleti, Pedinus helopioides, Prostomis mandibularis, Camptorhinus simplex.In 2011, larvae of Pytho depressus were found in Bulgaria that represent a new country recordof the species (cf. POLLOCK 2008). Later, still unpublished adults were found in the HungarianNatural History Museum.Abbreviations: EÁ = Ecsedi, Árpád, KT = Kovács, Tibor, MG = Magos, Gábor, PG = Puskás, Gellért, UL = Urbán,László; HNHM = Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest), MM = Mátra Museum (Gyöngyös).HETEROPTERABELOSTOMATIDAE Leach, 1815Lethocerus patruelis (Stål, 1854) (Fig. 2) – Montenegro, Ulcinj, Pašina, N41°55’32.9”, E19°12’16.3”, 18 m,27.05.2009, 1, KT-MG-UL (HNHM).COLEOPTERAEUCNEMIDAE Eschscholtz, 1829Eucnemis capucina Ahrens, 1812 – Montenegro, Rumija Mts, Sutorman, Baša, N42°09’25.8”, E19°06’05.5”, 765 m,14.04.2010, from Quercus sp., 1, KT-MG-UL (MM).ELATERIDAE Leach, 1815Ampedus cardinalis (Schiodte, 1865) – Montenegro, Rumija Mts, Krajina, Kova`evi_i, 42°04’18.2”, 19°21’27.6”,354 m, 15.04.2010, from Castanea sativa, 2, KT-MG-UL (MM).Cardiophorus anticus Erichson, 1840 – Montenegro, Rumija Mts, Krajina, Kova`evi_i, N42°04’18.2”, E19°21’27.6”,354 m, 15.04.2010, from Castanea sativa, 1, KT-MG-UL (MM).(It should be noted that Ctenicera virens (Schrank, 1781) recorded from Donja Polja published by NÉMETH et al.(2009) was also new to Montenegro.)TENEBRIONIDAE Latreille, 1802Diaperis boleti (Linnaeus, 1758) – Montenegro, Rumija Mts, Krajina, Kovaševi_i, N42°04’18.4”, E19°21’27.1”,354 m, 25.05.2009, UV light, 1, KT-MG-UL (HNHM).Iphthiminus italicus croaticus (Truqui, 1857) (Fig. 3) – Montenegro, Bratonoñi_i, Pavli`i_i-Crnovidino, N42°32’22.9”,E19°22’10.9”, 185 m, 17.04.2010, beneath bark of oak, 2, KT-MG-UL (HNHM).Opatrum verrucosum Germar, 1817 – Montenegro, Bratonoñi_i, Pavli`i_i-Crnovidino, N42°32’22.9”, E19°22’10.9”,185 m, 17.04.2010, 1, KT-MG-UL (HNHM).
