ABSTRACTS. The paper presents the results of studies of the Staphylinidae fauna in the nests of the birds Turdus iliacus (Linnaeus, 1766), T. philomelos (Brehm, 1831), T.pilaris (Linnaeus, 1758) and T. merula Linnaeus, 1758. 40 species of Staphylinidae were identified. Three species, Xylodromus affinis (Gerhardt, 1877), Haploglossa gentilis (Maerkel, 1844) and H. nidicola (Johansen, 1914), are obligate nidicoles. Seven species, Aleochara bilineata Gyllenhal, 1810, A. bipustulata (Linnaeus, 1760), A. curtula (Goeze, 1777), Crataraea suturalis (Mannerheim, 1830), Falagria sulcatula (Paykull, 1789), Haploglossa villosula (Stephens, 1832) and Heterothops quadripunctulus (Gravenhorst, 1806), belong to the group of facultative nidicoles. 30 species are accidental inhabitants of bird nests. Three species of Staphylinidae were observed in the nests of Turdus iliacus (L.), 10 — T. philomelos (Brehm), 14 — T. pilaris (L.), 24 — in the nests of T. merula L.
