Abstract

This article presents the results of a study on the tiger beetle (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) collection held in the State Museum of Nature of Uzbekistan. The research was conducted in April-May 2025, during which the museum's entomological collection was analyzed. It was determined that the museum's collection contains 34 species of tiger beetles, including 9 subspecies, brought from various countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The article provides a complete list of these species based on specimens collected between 1887 and 1942, along with detailed information on their material and geographical distribution. The study demonstrates the significant importance of the Nature Museum's collections, as one of Central Asia's largest scientific institutions, in preserving world natural heritage and in studying biological diversity.
