Abstract - Notes on the Silphidae (Coleoptera) of the Gerbasso Wood, Carmagnola (TO), Italy - The Gerbasso Wood is a renaturalized area in the territory of the Municipality of Carmagnola (Turin province) in the Po river Park (Piedmont, NW Italy). During the years 1999 and 2000 a study on the carrion beetle population (Coleoptera, Silphidae) was carried out in this area. 733 individuals belonging to 7 species were collected. In this paper an annotated list of the species is reported and some aspects of the structure of the carrion beetle population are discussed.
