          Abstract

          Resumen El Bosque Protector Oglán Alto tiene una extensión de 3100 hectáreas y está dominado por bosques de tierras bajas y bosques de piedemonte amazónicos que albergan fauna y flora de gran diversidad; sin embargo, esta ha sido pobremente estudiada, especialmente el grupo de los insectos. Presentamos el inventario de los escarabajos estercoleros (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) en esta localidad. Un total de 10,627 individuos pertenecientes a 17 géneros y 65 especies fueron determinados durante 18 meses de recolección en la que se utilizaron 11 técnicas de muestreo. Esta investigación presenta un listado actualizado, acompañado de una guía fotográfica para los principales géneros y especies, la cual servirá para la fácil identificación de este grupo de escarabajos en la región.

          Abstract The Oglán Alto Protective Forest has an area of 3100 hectares and is dominated by Amazonian lowland and piedmont forests, which harbor great diversity of fauna and flora. However, such diversity has been poorly studied, especially insects. Here we present an inventory of the dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) for this locality. A total of 10,627 individuals, belonging to 17 genera and 65 species, were determined during 18 months of collection, in which 11 different sampling methods were used. This research presents and updated checklist and a photographic guide of the main genera and species of dung beetles identified in the study area.
