%X Abstract: In this first contribution on the beetle fauna of the “Hannoversche Moorgeest” rove beetles, phytophagous and various beetles are treated. Ground beetles, saproxylic and aquatic beetles shall be treated later on. 26 species of rove beetles, 33 phytophagous and 12 various beetles are selected from the total species pool so far recorded, and they were analyzed with regard to their meaning for the biodiversity of the moor areas. Rove beetles form the largest group of tyrphobiontic species (8); several of these species inhabit quaking bogs and bog hollows (Acylophorus wagenschieberi, Atanygnathus terminalis, Euaesthetus laeviusculus, Gymnusa brevicollis), bog hummocks (Stenus picipes brevipennis) and the transition mire (Myllaena kraatzi, Stenus kiesenwetteri). Philonthus nigrita was found in different moor habitats. The remaining 8 species from this group are spread over 5 further families and were found on peat dams (Curimopsis nigrita, Hyperaspis pseudopustulata), in dystrophic ponds or quaking bogs (Cyphon hilaris), in bog hollows (Plateumaris discolor) and locally on swamp birch (Altica aenescens, Cryptocephalus decemmaculatus, Coeliodinus nigritarsis, Orchestes jota) in the peat bog. It may be noteworthy that there are totally 8 Cryptocephalus species in the moors, of which 5 can be regarded as remarkable and one (Cryptocephalus decemmaculatus) as tyrphobiontic. Several species have a main occurrence in peat bogs or in the moor forest. These species are typical for the transition area between peat bog and moor forest. The adults fly to broad-leaved trees or conifers for maturation feeding and the larvae inhabit mostly the peat bog: 7 of 11 Cryptocephalus larvae, which currently can only be partly determined to species level, were recorded in Sphagnum hummocks. The still undescribed larvae of the leaf beetle Plateumaris discolor were (for the first time?) dug out from the root area of Eriophorum angustifolium and other peat bog plants. The attribution of phytophagous tree- and shrub-living species to the categories tyrphobiontic / tyrphophilous is discussed. Birches and pines entering the peat bog as well as broad-leaved willows or aspen trees of the moor border or of a swamp forest contain a speciose phytophagous beetle fauna with several rare and endangered species. The fauna of old peat dams was characterized mainly with the aid of certain rove, click, ladybird and leaf beetle species as independent and worth of protection, too.
