“…For example, P. punctatostriatus was recorded only in mountainous areas. According to Jiménez-Ferbans et al (2012), Colombian species of the subgenus Pertinax tend to dominate middle altitudes. Regarding P. leachi, the specimens collected in this study were from wellpreserved forests.…”

We provide species lists and geographical occurrence records of the beetle family Passalidae for three subregions of the department of Sucre, northern Colombia. The sampling localities are lowland environments with typical tropical dry forest vegetation. We selected 15 sampling sites and examined decomposing trunks. We record seven species, four genera, and two tribes of Passalidae. The most abundant species were Passalus punctiger Lepeletier & Serville, 1825, P. interstitialis Eschscholtz, 1829, and P. interruptus (Linnaeus, 1758). We also provide new records for Passalus punctatostriatus Percheron, 1835, Paxillus leachi MacLeay, 1819, and Popilius marginatus (Percheron, 1835) in the department of Sucre. Veturius aspina Kuwert, 1898 was present only in the localities with well-preserved forests. Finally, the species number recorded in this study is low compared to other inventories in Neotropical regions.

“…The Caribbean region of Colombia is the most comprehensively know for passalids, based in amount of works published in the last two decades (e.g., Jiménez-Ferbans and Amat-García 2009 ; Jiménez-Ferbans et al 2010 ; Jiménez-Ferbans et al 2012 , 2014 , 2022 ; Taboada-Verona and Murillo-Ramos 2020 ). Jiménez-Ferbans and Amat-García (2009 , 2010 ), and Jiménez-Ferbans et al (2010) represented the first works that systematically studied the passalids of the region, registering 18 species and proposing a key and synopsis for their identification.…”

Then, Jiménez-Ferbans et al (2012 , 2014 , 2022 ) described new species for the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, increasing the number of species to 21. Additionally, recent explorations have allowed the discovery of species not registered for the region and increasing the number of sites with records of passalids.…”

Bess beetles (Passalidae) are a subsocial family of Coleoptera with approximately 1000 known species of saproxylophagous diet and pantropical distribution, with few extratropical species. Because of their high levels of endemism (especially in mountains), feeding habits, and complex subsociability; Passalidae is considered an excellent biological subject for taxonomic, biogeographical, and evolutionary studies. Colombia is the richest country with more than 118 recorded species of Passalidae, most of the species being related to humid and mountain areas. Colombia’s Caribbean region constitutes the northern portion of the country, extending for more than 130,000 km2 and includes four of the eight biogeographical provinces of Colombia. Since the 2000s this region has been the subject of systematic surveys for Passalidae; as a result, 18 passalid species have been recorded to date. After new explorations and review of entomological collections, the knowledge of the passalid fauna for the region is updated, recording 28 species (8 new records, 2 new species) for which are provided species diagnoses, photographs, and a taxonomic key. The dry plain, characteristic of the lowlands, is dominated by widely distributed species such as Passalus punctiger and Passalus interstitialis, while the mountainous systems provide species of more restricted distributions, some of them endemic to the Colombian Caribbean.

“…Estudios realizados en regiones de Colombia demostraron que las perturbaciones humanas afectan de manera negativa la diversidad, estructura y funcionamiento del ensamble de escarabajos coprófagos, así como a la tasa de remoción que ellos realizan (Noriega et al 2020, Noriega et al 2021a), reduciendo los servicios ecosistémicos proporcionados por este grupo (Stokstad 2004). Con respecto a estu-dios sobre escarabajos coprófagos en zonas urbanas, se han reportado investigaciones a nivel mundial (Ramírez-Restrepo & Halffter 2016, Correa et al 2021, Shizukuda & Saito 2021, algunos de ellos publicados para el Caribe colombiano (Jiménez-Ferbans et al 2008, Taboada-Verona et al 2019, en el que se demuestra la importancia de las zonas verdes como refugio y hábitat de escarabajos coprófagos en áreas urbanizadas.…”

En el presente trabajo se estudia la diversidad de escarabajos coprófagos en tres zonas urbanizadas del departamento de Sucre, Colombia, cada una con características ecológicas distintas. Los individuos fueron capturados con trampas de caída cebadas. Se analizaron el esfuerzo de muestreo, las curvas de rango-abundancia y los índices de diversidad alfa y beta. Se capturaron 710 individuos, agrupados en nueve géneros y 13 especies. El análisis de completitud arrojó valores por encima del 97%. El ensamble más diverso en cualquiera de los tres órdenes de “q” se encontró en la zona que alberga edificaciones, jardines y un parche de bosque de vegetación secundaria, seguido por una zona de pastizales, con pocas edificaciones; el ensamble de menor diversidad correspondió a la zona rodeada de edificaciones y con escasa cobertura vegetal. El índice de Sorensen-Dice arrojó una similitud total entre las tres zonas del 38%. Las curvas de rango-abundancia mostraron mayor equidad de especies en la zona más diversa. Los resultados indicaron que la composición del ensamble de escarabajos depende de las condiciones ambientales y el grado de urbanización. Así mismo, se evidenció que algunas especies pueden tener alta adaptabilidad y que algunas de ellas corren el riesgo potencial de presentar eventos de extinción local.
