summary:

The article is devoted to the study of beetle collection of the family Cryptophagidae (Coleoptera), part of Volodymyr Lazorko’s collection stored at the Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, as well as to the estimation of the representation of different species of the family in the collection in general and particularly in relation to the fauna of the Carpathians. The article describes the collection consisting of 263 specimens of 48 species of two subfamilies — Cryptophaginae and Atomariinae, which are stored in two separate boxes and pinned by entomological needles. The main collecting locations of specimens are given, as well as detailed analysis of the collection and annotation for genera presented among the specimens of the collection. Particular attention is paid to Volodymyr Lazorko’s biography, which allows decrypting of pieces of information indicated on the labels, especially when the collecting location is specified, and, in some cases, even the collector’s name when it is not Lazorko himself. A separate section is devoted to the general review of the collection and its chronological features, which mainly consist of specimens collected in the period from the early 1930s to the mid1940s. Specimens collected either prior or after this period, in most cases, were conveyed from other European collectors and redefined. While reviewing the material, considerable importance was given to changes in the taxonomy of the family, due to which several genera and species were published and stored under different names, which are currently exclusively synonymous. All such cases are noted in the description of the collection and in brief abstracts to the genera along with information on collection specimens, including the names of the regions and places of collection (in some cases location names are not fully decrypted; in other cases, full decoding or some specifications are given), collecting dates, authors of a specific series or collection, and also notes explaining individual details of the label or clarifications regarding the collector or author of the redefinition. The collection contains a large number of unique specimens of the family that are absent in other academic and university collections of Ukraine.
