Abstract (en):
The species list of dung beetles of the dry forest of Colombia from the Entomological Collection of the
Alexander von Humboldt Institute is presented. A total of 19.797 specimens of 68 species, the largest number of species registered for different localities in dry forest in Colombia, were reviewed. The taxonomic problems within the subfamily Scarabaeinae in Colombia are discussed; and a unique code for each morpho-species is proposed to further the the standardization of identification for records that cannot be identified to species. Only 35 species (51 %) could be identified to species, the others were codified.

Se presenta el listado de las especies de escarabajos coprófagos de bosque seco de Colombia de la Colección
Entomológica del Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt. Se revisaron 19.797 ejemplares de 68 especies que corresponde al mayor número de especies registrado para varias localidades de bosque seco en Colombia. Se discute sobre los problemas taxonómicos que existen en los escarabajos coprófagos (subfamilia Scarabaeinae) en Colombia y se propone la unificación de registros, asignando un código único a cada una de las especies en las que no es posible asignarle un epíteto específico. De las 68 especies, sólo a 35 (51 % de las especies), fue posible asignarles un epíteto específico, las restantes
especies se encuentran codificadas.
