Abstract
NARANJO-LOPEZ, ALMA GABRIELA and NAVARRETE-HEREDIA, JOSÉ LUIS. Carrion beetles (Histeridae, Silphidae and Scarabaeidae) from two localities in Gómez Farías, Jalisco, México. Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2011, vol.37, n.1, pp.103-110. ISSN 0120-0488.
We provide information on the carrion beetles from two localities of Gómez Farías, Jalisco, México, including their abundance, diversity, phenology and faunistic similarity. Monthly collections were made from December 2004 to December 2005 with NTP-80 carrion traps in San Andrés Ixtlán (tropical deciduous forest) and El Rodeo (pine forest). Thirty-four Coleoptera families were recorded, represented by 2.533 specimens belonging to 22 genera and 33 species. The most abundant family was Histeridae (62.7%), whereas Scarabaeidae was the most diverse (15 species). The most abundant species were Xerosaprinus sp. 1, Oxelytrum discicolle, Nicrophorus olidus and Deltochilum scabriusculum (representing 87.11% of the total abundance).
