In the present, the second part of the series titled “Beetles (Coleoptera) of the Rogów region” presents a family of ladybirds (Coccinellidae), as one of the better-known families of beetles occurring in the Rogów area. The faunistic data of presented species enriched by bionomical informations. In addition, the study showed a new species of ladybird for the Polish fauna and it is Nephus (B.)bisignatus (Boh.).

Stephanopachyslinearis (Kugelann, 1792) belongs to the family of horned powderpost beetles (Bostrichidae), represented in the fauna of Europe by 29 native species. It is a characteristic element of the northern, boreal zone of the Palaearctic and alpine areas of central and southern Europe. This species as a rare beetle important for the European Union, has been placed in Annex II of the Habitats Directive, on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and European Red List of Saproxylic Beetles. S.linearis was described from Poland in 1792 and, after 220 years, again encountered in this country. The zoogeographical distribution is shown and elements of its biology and ecology are discussed.

New data on the occurrence of beetles of the family Bostrichidae on Socotra Island are presented – altogether nine species have been recorded hitherto. Besides faunistic data, the paper contains descriptions of two new subspecies: Enneadesmus obtusidentatus obscurior Borowski subsp. nov. and Enneadesmus forficula socotrensis Borowski subsp. nov. Both subspecies differ from nomino-typical forms in smaller size and distinctly shorter and less prominent tubercles and denticles on elytral truncation.

All available information on the distribution and habitat requirements of saproxylic beetle Corticaria bella Redtenbacher in Europe is presented. The first record of C. bella in Finland (new country record) is based on museum specimens. Data on the occurrence of this species in Greece is supplemented based on specimens from a private collection. As a result of our research conducted in 2009–2010, the presence of C. bella in Poland is confirmed after more than 100 years; the species was found at three new sites in the central and eastern parts of the country, in 1001-year-old oak stands. Records of C. bella in Finland and Poland shift the hitherto known distribution of this species toward the northeast. Methods of collection of C. bella and characteristics of the habitats of the species are discussed. Based on available literature, C. bella is considered a very rare and locally occurring species in Europe. It prefers deciduous forests with oak (Quercus spp.) and coniferous stands with pine (Pinus ...

Sarcodontia crocea is a fungus relatively rarely recorded in Central and Northern Europe, where as a parasite it grows mainly on old apple trees. The most recent data on the occurrence of this fungus in Poland are presented in this study. Seven new localities of S. crocea are reported, found in the regions of Mazowsze, Podkarpacie, Ziemia Łódzka, and Żuławy Wiślane in the years 2013–2016. The S. crocea basidiomes were recorded on 12 apple trees. The fungus occurrence on Malus pumila ‘Niedzwetzkyana’ was documented for the first time. Four beetle species representing four families were found in the studied S. crocea basidiomes. Their feeding on S. crocea has not been mentioned in the literature so far.
