根据历史博物馆的标本和最近的实地考察，提供了瓦努阿图Nitidulidae的清单。提供了从该国记录的所描述物种的二分法钥匙。如有资料，则提供每个岛屿的具体数据；此外，还概述了所描述的每个分类单元的更广泛的分布。列出了几个未描述的分类群，但在该地区的进一步工作完成之前未进行描述。本文还讨论了入侵Nitidulidae在瓦努阿图的活动，重点讨论了人类活动和商业活动的增加与入侵物种数量之间的关系。这种讨论扩展到瓦努阿图的其他岛屿，这些岛屿尚未进行采样，以试图预测入侵物种的存在。
A checklist to the Nitidulidae of Vanuatu is provided based on a combination of historical museum specimens and recent field expeditions. A dichotomous key to the described species recorded from the country is provided. Specific data per island is given where available; in addition, broader distributions are outlined for each described taxon. Several undescribed taxa are listed but not described until further work can be done in the region. A discussion of the movement of invasive Nitidulidae throughout Vanuatu is also included with an emphasis on the relationship between increases in human movement and commerce and the number of invasive species present. This discussion is extended to other islands in Vanuatu that have not yet been sampled in an attempt to predict the presence of invasive species.
