Abstract
A review of Bolboceratidae species from the Russian Far East is given. The distribution of the species is considered. Maps of their ranges in the territory of Russia are compiled. Bolbotrypes davidis (Fairmaire, 1891) was found in the Jewish Autonomous Area for the first time. Micetophagy of Bolbocerodema zonatum Nikolajev, 1973 and coprophagy of Bolbotrypes davidis are confirmed. The phenology of their adults and topical preferences are considered. The whole available information on the little-known Bolbelasmus orientalis Petrovitz, 1968 (holotype, the type locality, citing) is provided.
