Abstract

The paper presents new records of tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) in the northern part of the Lower Volga Region (the Saratov Region). All the species (Cicindela maritima kirgisica Mandl, 1936, Cephalota deserticola deserticola Faldermann, 1836, and Cylindera contorta contorta (Fischer von Waldheim, 1828) were recorded in the Saratov Region for the first time. Two species, C. d. deserticola and C. c. contorta, previously known from the neighboring Volgograd Region, were recorded at the northern limit of their ranges.
