“…The flower chafer genus Gymnetis MacLeay, 1819 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae, Gymnetini) comprises 57 species distributed from USA to Argentina, of which 26 occurs in Brazil. The adults are usually found in plants during day light, where they feed on flowers, mature or rotting fruits, pollen grains, and sap flow (Ratcliffe, 2018;Ratcliffe and Nogueira, 2020). Some species have been associated with honeybee hives (Apis melifera, Hymenoptera) and possibly with ant nets (Formicidae, Hymenoptera), but the association with Hymenoptera is possibly accidental (Tejada and Morón, 2015;Ratcliffe, 2018;Ratcliffe and Nogueira, 2020).…”

The larvae of the genus feed on rich organic matter soil, roots, and some species were noted inside composter or associated with ant nests (Orozco and Pardo-Locarno, 2004;Rodrigues et al, 2016;Sánchez-Soto et al, 2017;Ratcliffe, 2018).…”

Gymnetis pantherina meleagris (Burmeister, 1842)), Gymnetis rufilateris (Illiger, 1800), Gymnetis vandepolli Bates, 1889 (named as Gymnetis bajula vandepolli Olivier, 1789) from Mato Grosso do Sul State. From Minas Gerais State, Gonçalves and Louzada (2005) registered Gymnetis cupriventris Janson, 1880 and Gymnetis pantherina, while Puker et al. (2014) noted G. pantherina and G. undata (Olivier, 1789). The occurrence of G. undata and G. vandepolli in Brazil is doubtful since the Gymnetis review (Ratcliffe, 2018) registered the former to Caribbean and Guyana regions, and the last to Colombia and Central America. Evangelista Neto et al. (2018) collected G. hebraica, G. rufilateris, G. pantherina (named as G. rubrocincta (Schürhoff, 1937)), G. flavomarginata Blanchard, 1837 in Brasília, but the last species registered must be checked because G. flavomarginata possibly does not occurs in Brazil (Ratcliffe, 2018).Adult scarabs usually detect other scarabs, food sources, or nesting places by the detection of pheromones (

“…López-Sorto et al (2014) reported 1 species of Dynastinae, Dynastes maya Hardy. For Cetoniinae, new country records were documented for 3 species of Euphoria Burmeister (Orozco, 2012) and 2 of Gymnetis MacLeay (Ratcliffe, 2018). During 2020-2022, new Salvadoran records of Melolonthinae (2 species, Arce-Pérez & Morón, 2020;, Rutelinae (1 species, Pablo-Cea, 2021), and Cetoniinae (5 species, Pablo-Cea, 2021; Pablo-Cea & Alfaro, 2020) were documented.…”

Less than 1% of the literature on El Salvador’s biodiversity is about terrestrial invertebrates, which limits our knowledge of this group’s diversity, richness, and distribution in the territory. Scarabaeoidea are megadiverse in multiple ecosystems and perform many functions. This work aims to catalog the Scarabaeoidea in El Salvador. We conducted an exhaustive review of published literature and reviewed numerous entomological collections with relevant material. Maps were constructed to visualize the known distribution of each species in the country. There are 295 scarab beetle species (including 19 new country records) representing 106 genera in 7 families in El Salvador. Six precinctive species are known. Twenty-two species are discarded as occurring in El Salvador, either because they are not valid species or because of misidentifications or dubious records. This work is the first approach to knowing the Scarabaeoidea in El Salvador, a territory that is usually considered of no importance for the conservation of regional biodiversity due to its small area, high rate of deforestation, and overpopulation. The results of this work reinforce the need for biological prospecting in the territory to know, conserve, and protect the remaining biodiversity.
