          Abstract

          The succession of Scarabaeidae in cattle dung deposited in pasture were observed from January to August 2001 in Itumbiara County, State of Goiás, Brazil (18º25'S; 49º13'W). Fresh cattle dung pats were exposed on a pasture area for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten days and then taken individually to the laboratory for screening and identification of the Scarabaeidae therein present. A total of 100 dung pads were exposed in the field from which 3,229 specimens of Scarabaeidae were recovered. The most frequent species found were: Ataenius aequalis Harold and Aphodius lividus Balth. The majority of specimens were collected in cattle dung exposed for one and two days.

          A sucessão de Scarabaeidae em fezes bovinas depositadas em pastagens foi observada de janeiro a agosto de 2001 em Itumbiara, Goiás (18º25'S; 49º13'W). Fezes bovinas recém-excretadas foram expostas nas pastagens por um, dois, três, quatro, cinco, seis, sete, oito, nove e dez dias e posteriormente levadas para o laboratório para a separação e triagem dos Scarabaiedae presentes. Um total de 100 fezes bovinas foram expostas nas pastagens, das quais 3.220 espécimes de Sarabaeidae foram coletados. As espécies coletadas em maior número de indivíduos foram Ataenius aequalis Harold e Aphodius lividus Balth. A maioria das espécies foi coletada em fezes bovinas expostas pelo período de um e dois dias.
