The Ecuadorian territory is divided into four natural regions: the coastal lowlands, the Andean highlands, the Amazon basin, and the Galapagos Islands. Each of these regions has its own ecosystems and specific vegetation. The purpose of this work is to compile an updated catalog of the Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) of Ecuador that includes distributional data and several nomenclatural acts. We compiled data from 25 scientific collections, with the examination of 13,550 scarabaeines; additionally, 390 bibliographic references were reviewed for their taxonomic histories. The Scarabaeinae fauna from Ecuador is represented by 33 genera and 223 species, with 45 range-restricted species; 27 species were erroneously recorded from the country. The following nomenclatural acts are made: (A) two new status as valid species: Canthon (Glaphyrocanthon) ohausi Balthasar, 1939,stat. n., and Deltochilum (Calhyboma) arrowi Paulian, 1939stat. n.; (B) one new synonym:UroxysmagnusBalthasar, 1940 =UroxyslatesulcatusBates, 1891,syn. n.; (C) two revalidated names: Canthidium (Canthidium) orbiculatum (Lucas, 1857) and Dichotomius (Luederwaldtinia) fortepunctatus (Luederwaldt, 1923); and (D) ten lectotypes designated for:ChoeridiumorbiculatumLucas, 1857;ChoeridiumcupreumBlanchard, 1846;CanthidiumcoerulescensBalthasar, 1939;CanthonangustatusHarold, 1867;CanthonangustatusohausiBalthasar, 1939;DeltochilumtessellatumBates, 1870;PinotusfortepunctatusLuederwaldt, 1923;PinotusglobulusFelsche, 1901;UroxyslatesulcatusBates, 1891; andUroxysmagnusBalthasar, 1940. The type specimens related to the new nomenclatural acts are illustrated and the maps of the geographical distribution of all species are provided.

“…The genus Canthon Hoffmannsegg, 1817 is one of the most diverse groups in Scarabaeinae, comprising c. 180 described valid species (Halffter & Martínez, 1977;Schoolmeesters, 2018;Vieira et al, 2019) belonging to nine subgenera (Halffter & Martínez, 1977). Besides that, there are nearly 32 described species and subspecies still considered as incertae sedis due to absence of diagnostic characteristics that can be used to classify these species into a subgenus of Canthon (Halffter & Martínez, 1977;Vaz-de-Mello et al, 2011;Nunes et al, 2018;Cupello & Vaz-de-Mello, 2018;Vieira et al, 2019).…”

A new species of Canthon is described, illustrated and the morphological similarities with related species are discussed. The species Canthon cleidecostae was named after Dr. Cleide Costa a great beetles specialist. The subgeneric category of species is considered incertae sedis until the taxonomic revision of the genus Canthon is fully addressed. Also, we provide a key for genera, subgenera and isolated species-groups that can be confused with the genus Canthon.

Species relative abundance (SRA) is an essential attribute of biotic communities, which can provide an accurate description of community structure. However, the sampling method used may have a direct influence on SRA quantification, since the use of attractants (e.g., baits, light, and pheromones) can introduce additional sources of variation in trap performance. We tested how sampling aided by baits affect community data and therefore alter derived metrics. We tested our hypothesis on dung beetles using data from flight interception traps (FITs) as a baseline to evaluate baited pitfall trap performance. Our objective was to assess the effect of bait attractiveness on estimates of SRA and assemblage metrics when sampled by pitfall traps baited with human feces.Dung beetles were sampled at three terra firme primary forest sites in the Brazilian Amazon. To achieve our objective, we (i) identified species with variable levels of attraction to pitfall baited with human feces; (ii) assessed differences in SRA; and (iii) assessed the effect of bait on the most commonly used diversity metrics derived from relative abundance (Shannon and Simpson indices). We identified species less and highly attracted to the baits used, because most attracted species showed greater relative abundances within baited pitfall traps samples compared with our baseline. Assemblages sampled by baited pitfall traps tend to show lower diversity
