Abstract
An annotated catalogue of leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Megalopodidae, Orsodacnidae, and Chrysomelidae) of the Kaliningrad Region (Russia) is presented. In total, 278 species are hitherto known. During the study, all available published sources of relevant information were reviewed and analyzed. All doubtful species recorded till now from the region are commented and removed from the list. The recent Kaliningrad Region’s fauna of Chrysomelidae sensu lato is represented by 16 chorotypes. The species of Sibero-European (60 species, or 21.59%), Asiatic-European (57, or 20.51%), and Palaearctic (40, or 14.39%) chorotypes are considered to be predominant.
