Abstract (en):
This reports includes the records of dung beetles associated with the dry forests of Colombia present at the Entomological Collection of the Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt. The data set includes 11686 records, 19797 specimens belonging to 18 genera and 68 species. The species sorting included an exhaustive study of the external morphology and male genitalia. For species identification, updated taxonomic revisions, original descriptions, re-descriptions, and regional revisions were used. It was possible to identify 35 to species (genus and species names), and another 33 species were assigned a unique
morpho-species code identifier after the generic name was determined (morph-species code). The lack of recent taxonomic revisions in genera such as Canthon, Canthidium, Dichotomius, Uroxys and Onthophagus has limited the identification to specific level in Colombia; a reason for the incomplete and imprecise species list that had been published. This data set supports the most complete and verified species list of dung beetles of the dry forests of Colombia.
Abstract (es):
En este conjunto de datos se incluyen los registros de escarabajos coprófagos asociados al ecosistema de bosque seco de Colombia, depositados en Colección Entomológica del Instituto Alexander von Humboldt. El conjunto de datos está conformado por 11686 registros, 19797 ejemplares, pertenecientes a 18 géneros y 68 especies. La separación de las especies se realizó a partir del estudio exhaustivo de la morfología externa, y del órgano genital masculino. Para la identificación de las especies se utilizaron revisiones taxonómicas recientes, descripciones originales, re-descripciones y revisiones regionales. A 35 de las especies se logró asignarles un epíteto específico (género y especie) y a 33 se les asignó un identificador único después del género (código de morfoespecie). La falta de revisiones taxonómicas recientes en géneros como Canthon, Canthidium, Dichotomius, Uroxys y Onthophagus ha limitado la identificación a nivel de especies en Colombia, por lo que se han publicado listados incompletos e imprecisos. Este conjunto de datos soporta el listado más completo y verificado de especies de escarabajos coprófagos de bosque seco de Colombia realizado hasta la fecha.
