Abstract

Entomological collections are an invaluable source of data, due to the variety of species they contain, capturing the biodiversity of a given time. Thus, the entomology part of the Division of Zoology Collection (Faculty of Science, Department of Biology), in Zagreb, established in 1890, is an important asset for all faunistic research and any overview of historical changes in species composition, as well as an important resource in the education of young scientists. Here we provide records of 198 ladybird specimens belonging to five tribes and 24 taxa. Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, 1758 and Hippodamia (Hemisphaerica) tredecimpunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) were the most abundant species in the collection, with 59 and 40 specimens respectively. The altitudinal range for the specimens in the collection is 10–1031 m a.s.l., with most records having been found between 10 and 199 m a.s.l. Due to the educational and scientific importance of entomological collections, it is recommended that the review and inventory of the entomological material within the Division of Zoology Collection be continued.

萨格勒布理学院动物学部昆虫收藏目录，瓢虫科收藏(昆虫纲:鞘翅目)

昆虫学收藏是一个宝贵的数据来源，因为它们包含了多种物种，捕捉了特定时期的生物多样性。因此，成立于1890年的萨格勒布动物收藏部(生物系科学系)的昆虫学部分是所有动物学研究和物种组成历史变化概述的重要资产，也是年轻科学家教育的重要资源。本文收集了198份瓢虫标本，隶属于5个部落24个分类群。其中以七星瓢虫(1758)和西半球瓢虫(1758)数量最多，分别为59和40个。标本的海拔高度在10 ~ 1031米之间，大部分记录的海拔高度在10 ~ 199米之间。鉴于昆虫学收藏在教育和科学上的重要性，建议继续对昆虫学资料进行审查和清查。
