نبذة مختصرة : The Tenebrionidae from the Tunisian Galite archipelago stored in the Collection Nagel (housed in Centre for Biodocumentation, Landsweiler-Reden, Germany) are presented in this study. Isomira melanophthalma is recorded for the first time for the islands. A preliminary analysis of the immigration of the Tenebrionidae to the Galite archipelago indicates a close relationship to Europe rather than to the nearby African continent. Tenebrionidae may have colonised these islands via one or more of the following means: (i) floating debris, (ii) wind, (iii) former land bridges and (iv) accidental anthropogenic introduction. ; peer-reviewed
