Swedish records of two exotic rhinoceros beetles (Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae) are reported, namely the Mediterranean Temnorhynchus baal Reiche & Saulcy, 1856 from a sawdust pile in Hölö, Södertälje, and the South American Tomarus villosus (Burmeister, 1847) from grapes in a supermarket in Karlskoga. A few other examples are briefly discussed, as are the conditions for successful colonisation of imported scarab beetles.
