1. In the territory of southeastern Ukraine (Donetsk and Lugansk region) 151 species of Scarabaeoidae, belonging to 54 genera, 12 subfamilies and 2 families, are given registered. 2. For the first time for southeast of Ukraine fauna, 23 species are found. 3. The basis of fauna consists of mass; and species- 52% (78 species); rare- 22% (33 species); 25 species (17%) are represented by for single specimens, and 15 species are known only from literature. 4. In trophical relation, the following groups are represented: coprophagoes- 80 species (54%), phytophagoes- 40 species (27%); aphagoes- 12 species (8%); saprophagoes- 10 species (7%); kerathophagoes- 5 species (3%); fungiphagoes- 2 species (1%). 5. Among the Ukrainian Red list species, Lucanus cervus L., Osmoderma eremita Scop. are found. Reliable finds of Ceratophyus polyceros Pall. during the last 50 years are unknown. 6. The quantity of Amphicorna vulpes F., Platycerus caraboides L., Gymnopleurus mopsus Pall., Sisyphys schaefferi Fischer, Potosia hungarica Herbst. has strongly decreased for the last 10 years. 7. The main reason for Scarabaeoidae of quantity reduction of Scarabaeoidae is disappearance of steppe vertebate's complex (Marmota bobac, Citellus), destruction of biocenoses, aggressive envinronment.
