- Abstract
Eighteen years of sporadic sampling effort using 13 collection methods between 1998 and May 2023 was devoted to nine sites in a national park (George Washington Memorial Parkway) in northern Virginia. These collection techniques captured 272 nitidulid specimens. The specimens represent eight subfamilies and 17 genera containing 38 species and one undetermined taxon. Twenty-six nitidulid species are reported for the first time from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Twenty-five species are first records for the Potomac Gorge, an area surveyed for beetles for over 120 years. Periods of adult activity based on dates of capture are given for each species. An assessment of collection techniques is provided.
