The article continues the earlier study of the beetle fauna (Coleoptera) in the nests of the Pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca in the territory of the European part of Russia. The study used nesting material from artificial nestboxes from the territory of three specially protected natural areas of the Republic of Karelia and the Vladimir Oblast. Based on the literature and authors data was compiled a check-list of beetle species (82 species) from flycatcher nests. Twenty-one beetle species recorded for the nest of Ficedula hypoleuca for the first time. The main part among the identified species are representatives of the families Elateridae, Carabidae, and Cantharidae, which are classified as nutrients and/or random species, as well as facultative nidicolous from the families Histeridae (especially Gnathoncus buyssoni) and Staphylinidae.
