Abstract
Fossil beetles of the families Asiocoleidae, Schizocoleidae, and Permosynidae, recently collected in the Aristovo locality (Upper Permian, northern European Russia, Malaya Northern Dvina River) are described. All fossils are isolated elytra, whose systematic position in the natural system is often hardly established; thus, they are described as formal taxa. Aristovo is the only locality dominated by both asiocoleids and permosynids; these insects started playing an important role at the end of the Permian. It could also have adephagians and polyphagyans, the main groups of Meso–Cainozoic beetles.

Notes
Contrary to Tillyard (1924), it is better to number the striae starting from the sutural margin, because some fields of the outer margin can be deformed (folded) and the number of striae may change, depending on the preservation.
