The paper below provides an overview of current studies with discussion on the composition of beetles, which relate to the family Histeridae (Insecta: Coleoptera) originating from Tyumen Province and Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area - Yugra. The author summarizes studies of clown beetles, carried out over the whole period of research, presents reference base (16 references), original data and actual evidence on the distribution of beetles over the foregoing territories. The family Histeridae, inhabiting Tyumen Province and Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area - Yugra, consists of 29 species from 3 subfamilies (2 species of Abraeinae, 18 species of Histerinae, 9 species of Saprininae), including 28 species registered in Tyumen Province and 8 species registered in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area - Yugra. The paper records Hypocaccus rufipes (Kugelann, 1792) in West Siberia, particularly in Tyumen Region (Tobolsk), and indicates 4 Histeridae species in the city of Tyumen: Hister bissexstriatus (Fabricius, 1801); Margarinotus purpurascens (Herbst, 1791); M. ventralis (Marseul, 1854); and Saprinus aeneus (Fabricius, 1775).
