Edited by Neusa Hamada -INPA Neotropical Entomology 39(4):486-495 (2010) Necrophilous Coleoptera (Scarabaeidae, Silphidae y Trogidae) of Malinalco, State of Mexico, Mexico ABSTRACT -Collections were made during one year, between August 2005 and July 2006, in Malinalco, State of Mexico, in three sites of tropical deciduous forest, a pasture and a induced forest of pine-oak, established in a altitudinal gradient ranging from 1,253 m to 2,300 m. The total of 7,680 specimens Scarabaeidae, Silphidae and Trogidae were captured through NTP-80, representing 18 genera and 38 species. Onthophagus and Canthon contained 46% of the richness of Scarabaeidae. The more distant sites were complementary in their species composition. The lowest complementarity occurred between sites with tropical deciduous forest. It revises the material collected through pitffal traps and light traps funnel type, increasing the list of 38 to 50 species in the study area. Between 40% and 50% of the species in Malinalco are distributed in localities of the province of the basin Balsas and localities of the province of the Sierra Madre del Sur, and 30% in the localities of the province of Pacifi ca coast. For the fi rst time 17 species of Scarabaeidae and three Trogidae were reported for the State of Mexico.KEY WORDS: Diversity, complementarity, faunistic similarity Para el Estado de México se han registrado 86 especies de Scarabaeidae Laparosticti de 33 géneros; cinco de Silphidae de tres géneros y tres de Trogidae incluidas en dos géneros
