“…The species Carcinops (Carcinops) troglodytes has been found to be an effective natural enemy of synanthropic muscoid Diptera: Musca domestica Linnaeus (Muscidae) and Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann) (Calliphoridae), and considered a potential biological control agent for the coleopteran Alphitobius diaperinus Panzer (Tenebrionidae) that develops in chicken droppings in Brazil (Lopes et al 2006, Santoro et al 2010); in Chile it was collected on dry goat’s dung (Arriagada 1986). Hololepta (Leionota) reichii has been considered a predator of larvae and pupae of Melipona compressipes manaosensis Schwarzand Melipona seminigra merrillae Cockerell(Hymenoptera: Apidae)inside bee hives (Coletto-Silva and Freire 2006). In this study, Carcinops troglodytes was collected on pig and Hololepta reichii on human carcasses, in both cases with presence of Calliphoridae larvae.…”

A key to 16 histerid species associated with decaying carcasses in Argentina is presented, including diagnoses and habitus photographs for these species. This article provides a table of all species associated with carcasses, detailing the substrate from which they were collected and geographical distribution by province. All 16 Histeridae species registered are grouped into three subfamilies: Saprininae (twelve species of Euspilotus Lewis and one species of Xerosaprinus Wenzel), Histerinae (one species of Hololepta Paykull and one species of Phelister Marseul) and Dendrophilinae (one species of Carcinops Marseul). Two species are new records for Argentina: Phelister rufinotus Marseuland Carcinops troglodytes (Paykull). A discussion is presented on the potential forensic importance of some species collected on human and pig carcasses.

“…Hololepta reichii is widely distributed in the Americas, ranging from Mexico to Argentina (Mazur 2011). However, in Brazil, the records are limited to the states of Amazonas, Paraná, Goiás, and Mato Grosso (Coletto-Silva & Freire 2006, Gonçalves & Leivas 2017, Silva-Neto et al 2019, Péche et al 2019; probably, there are many undetermined specimens in collections. Despite the wide distribution, the species is rarely sampled in inventory studies and can be differentiated from other Hololepta (Leionota) species by (i) the frontal stria transverse and interrupted in the middle; (ii) pronotum sides with punctual depressions (like holes, usually 1-4); and (iii) 2nd dorsal stria complete.…”

“…These records are as follows: two nests of Melipona spp. in Amazonas (Coletto-Silva & Freire 2006), one of M. quadrifasciata in Goiás (Silva-Neto et al 2019), and four hives of A. mellifera in São Paulo (Krüger et al 2017) and three in Mato Grosso (Péche et al 2019). Hololepta reichii was found in stingless and honey bee hives whereas Omalodes (Omalodes) foveola Erichson was associated only with A. mellifera (Krüger et al 2017).…”

“…Despite the well-known predatory behavior of clown beetles on dipterans and other insects (see Costa et al 1988), even occurring on human corpses in association with blow fly larvae (Calliphoridae) (Aballay et al 2013), there is only one record regarding feeding behavior of histerids under a diet of beehive products. Coletto-Silva & Freire (2006) reported H. reichii feeding on larvae and pupae of Melipona spp. by capturing, piercing, and sucking the prey under laboratory conditions.…”

“…Registros na Amazônia Central indicam que Hololepta (Leionota) reichii (Marseul, 1853) pode ser considerada inimigo natural de abelhas sem ferrão, predando larvas e pupas de meliponíneos (Coletto- Silva & Freire 2006). Tal abrangência de ambientes em que são encontrados proporciona a esses besouros uma grande diversidade morfológica (Kovarik & Caterino 2001).…”

Histeridae is a group of beetles with diverse morphology known as generalist predators and which occurs in a wide variety of habitats. The objective of this paper was to present the first list of Histeridae from the Campos Gerais region (Parques Estaduais de Vila Velha, do Cerrado, e do Cânion Guartelá) and provide information about species from protected areas in the state of Paraná. Also were provided appropriate collecting methods for the group. The Histeridae from Campos Gerais are represented by 29 species belonging to eight genera: Haeteriinae sp. (Erichson, 1834)) foram registrados pela primeira vez para os Campos Gerais. A fauna de Histeridae se mostrou diversa quando comparada a levantamentos em outras formações vegetacionais. Entretanto, a maioria das espécies não demonstra uma seleção de hábitat para áreas abertas. Considerando a perda de habitat ocorrida nos Campos Gerais, salienta-se a importância dos levantamentos faunísticos através de métodos apropriados e listagens regionais de Coleoptera para o conhecimento da biodiversidade.
