Abstract

The paper summarizes all known information about the findings of the subfamily Pselaphinae in Eastern Ukraine, based on the study of collections stored in the country, collected in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, and Sumy administrative Regions of Ukraine. As a result of the study, it was found that the subfamily Pselaphinae is represented in the fauna of the Region 58 species. The data on ecological features and distribution of the identified species are presented. The obtained results can be used for solving a number of theoretical issues of faunistics, zoogeography and ecology, as well as for the preparation of the fauna cadastre of Ukraine, for comparative faunal studies, analysis of species distribution, biogeographical constructions, study of faunogenesis, environmental monitoring and prediction of the effects of human activity on natural ecosystems of the region.

Keywords: fauna, ecology, Pselaphinae, Ukraine, Sumy, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk.
