Summary
A biodiversity study at Monte San Giorgio, a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Serpiano, canton of Ticino, Switzerland, uncovered 366 species of beetles (Coleoptera) from 56 families using light traps between 1995 and 1997. Notably, the research identified one species, Malthodes vincens, as new to Switzerland and 22 others as new records for Ticino. The study, conducted over three years at an elevation of 630 meters, highlights the site's rich beetle diversity, contributing valuable data to regional biodiversity inventories.
