The paper describes sensory organs of mouth parts of various species of beetles of the genus Meligethes STEPHENS. Melighetes aeneus (F.) is a descriptive base. Four different types of sensory organs were found on the surface of mouth parts (sensilla trichoidea, s. campaniformia, s. chaetica and s. basiconica), with trichoid sensilla (s. trichoidea) functioning as chemoreceptors.
Meligethes jelineki AUDISIO is recorded for the first time from Poland. The beetle was found in Olmonty near Białystok (Podlasie). New localities of 18 species of Nitidulidae from Podlasie region are given.
