The composition and distribution of darkling beetles of the genus Uloma are briefly reviewed for the Russian fauna. In total, four species are known from Russia, one of which is distributed in the European part and the Russian Caucasus, one is transpalaearctic, two sympatric species are known only in Primorsky krai of the Russian Far East. The species Uloma bonzica is recorded for Russia for the first time. A key to species of Uloma from Russia, accompanied by quality illustrations, is given.	en	Nabozhenko, M. V., Ivanov, S. N.

172D879BD455F23BFF36FB81FDC84E3C.taxon	description	Figs 1, 2 This species is widespread in the European part of Russia from Yaroslavl Region (Vlasov & Nikitsky, 2016) and Udmurtia (Dedyukhin, 2013) in the north and to the Russian Caucasus in the south (Abdurakhmanov & Nabozhenko, 2011). The range in Russia extends also from the west to the east from Kaliningrad Region (Alekseev, 2022) to the Urals (Kozminykh, 2015). The general distribution see in Iwan et al. (2020), except Western Siberia (WS in the catalogue) for which we didn’t not find reliable records in the literature. The first author collected adults and larvae of U. culinaris exclusively under the bark or in the thickness of rotten wood of many species of deciduous trees. Nikitsky (2016) noted that the species is also inhabits rotten pine wood.	en	Nabozhenko, M. V., Ivanov, S. N.

172D879BD455F238FF36FA21FBA54AEA.taxon	description	Figs 3, 4 This species is widely distributed in Russia from Baltic regions in the west and northwest (Medvedev, 1965; Alekseev, 2008) to the Primorsky krai in the east (Medvedev, 1992; Medvedev & Sundukov, 2009). The southern border of the range in Russia passes along the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and Crimea (Abdurakhmanov & Nabozhenko, 2011). The Western Siberia was omitted in the catalogue (Iwan et al., 2020), although records of this species in this region have been published earlier (Efimov, 2008; Sergeeva & Stolbov, 2020). The general distribution see in Iwan et al. (2020). The first author colleсted this species only in rotten wood of old pine trees. Nikitsky (2016) noted that U. rufa also occurs in Moscow Region in damp rotten wood of firs, oaks and birches. The Lazovsky Nature reserve is probably the southernmost locality of U. rufa in the Far East (Medvedev & Sundukov, 2009).	en	Nabozhenko, M. V., Ivanov, S. N.

Ivanov (PCSI, PCMN); same locality, 31. VII 2020, 1 ♂, 1 ♀, leg. S. N. Ivanov (ZIN); same locality, 18. VIII 2023, 1 ♂, leg. S. N. Ivanov (PCMN); 2 km E Merkushevka village, 12. VIII 2024, 1 ♂, leg. S. N. Ivanov (PCMN). NOTES. The species was known from Japan and Korean Peninsula (Masumoto & Nisiikawa, 1986; Kim & Kim, 2004; Jung, 2012, etc.) and China, Zhejiang (Liu & Ren, 2016 b). The record from China was omitted in the catalogue (Iwan et al., 2020). The species U. bonzica is recorded for Russia for the first time. Adults of U. bonzica were found on linden (Merkushevka village) together with Uloma latimanus Kolbe, 1886 and on a light trap in different localities. Both sympatric species were collected in slightly different microbiotopes: U. latimanus – under the bark and in the damp rotting wood of the part of the trunk lying on the ground; U. bonzica – on the relatively dry part of the same tree, remaining on the roots and on small fragments scattered nearby. Aedeagi are similar in both species. Aedeagus of Uloma bonzica (Figs 20, 21) differs from same in U. latimanus (Figs 17, 18) in the slightly narrower and not dorsally depressed parameres in apical half. Spiculum gastrale of Uloma bonzica (Fig. 19) is more different from same in U. latimanus in the presence of lateral process on blades (Fig. 22). Both species have external sexual dimorphism not only in characters of the pronotum, but also in the shape of the mentum. Females have elevated portion of mentum narrower; the elevation is slightly convex in middle, coarsely sparsely punctured, the lateral elongate impression along elevated portion large and deep (Figs 11 – 12, 15 – 16), while males have the mentum with the wide depression in middle elevation, without puncturation (Figs 9 – 10) or with very sparse and fine punctures on the lateral sides (Figs 13 – 14).	en	Nabozhenko, M.
