The work is based on original material, which had been collected by the author during 11 years in all natural and climatic zones of Ukraine, and on the material from a number of collections. According to our data there are no less than 122 species of bark-beetles from 37 genera and 15 tribes in the fauna of Ukraine. One of these 122 species is recorded for the first time for the Europe by us, 7 species for the fauna of Ukraine, 9 species for the plain part of Ukraine, 3 species for the fauna of Ukrainian Carpathians, 2 for Crimea. The distribution of 52 species is specified. Despite the big economic significance of Scolytinae the keys for identification of barkbeetles of Ukraine were absent till the present moment. The most popular keys do not allow determining about 25% of species at the modern stage of investigation. The keys for identification of supertribes, tribes, genera and species of bark-beetles of fauna of Ukraine (including invaders) are presented in the paper.
