Abstract

Današnje ubrzano smanjenje biološke raznolikosti svakoj zemlji nameće potrebu popisivanja
svoje flore i faune. U ovome radu je po prvi puta sustavno istraživana fauna raznolike i brojne
porodice kornjaša, zlatica (Chrysomelidae). Analizirane su tri povijesne muzejske zbirke, tri
recentne privatne zbirke te literatura kako bi se I) nadopunilo znanje o entomofauni, II) sastavio
prvi sistematski popis vrsta zlatica te III) utvrdila dosadašanja istraženost zlatica na području
Republike Hrvatske.... More Obrađene su tri zbirke Hrvatskog prirodoslovnog muzeja čiji su predmeti,
ovisno o stupnju prethodne obrađenosti, popisani i (re)determinirani. Svi povijesni podaci
usklađeni su s recentnim nazivljem, a lokaliteti su georeferencirani. Ukupno su zabilježene 602
vrste zlatica, od čega je 15 novih vrsta za faunu Hrvatske. Nalazi i njihova brojnost prikazani
su na karti razine 10 × 10 km kvadranata. Provedena je analiza faune prema biogeografskim
regijama koja je ukazala na najveći broj vrsta i nalaza za mediteransku regiju.Trenutno u više
od polovice hrvatskog teritorija nema niti jedan zabilježen nalaz zlatica. Stoga, buduća
istraživanja trebaju biti fokusirana upravo na te dijelove Hrvatske. Ovaj rad predstavlja
značajan doprinos znanju o entomofauni naše zemlje. Temelj je budućim istraživanjima faune
kornjaša za područje Republike Hrvatske, jer implementira i povijesne i recentne podatke. Less

Abstract (english)

Nowadays accelerated decline of biodiversity is forcing every country to enlist its flora and
fauna. In this work, the fauna of a species-rich and numerous family of beetles, the leaf beetles
(Chrysomelidae), was systematically analysed for the first time. Three historical museum
collections, three recent private collections and literature were analysed in order to I) contribute
to the knowledge of entomofauna, II) compile the first systematic list and III) determine the
extent to which... More leaf beetles have been studied in the Republic of Croatia so far. Three
collections of the Croatian Natural History Museum were analysed, their objects listed and
(re)identified where necessary. All historical data were analysed and linked to the current
nomenclature, while the localities were georeferenced. A total of 602 species of leaf beetles
were recorded, 15 of which are new to the Croatian fauna. The records are presented on a 10 ×
10 km quadrangle map. An analysis of the fauna by biogeographical region was carried out,
which revealed the largest number of species and findings for the Mediterranean region.
Currently, not a single leaf beetle has been found in more than half of the Croatian territory.
Therefore, future research should focus precisely on those parts of Croatia. This work represents
an important contribution to the knowledge of the entomofauna of our country in general and
represents the basis for future studies of the beetle fauna as it includes both historical and current
data. Less
