Description

Contribution to the knowledge of the beetles of the family Silphidae (Coleoptera) in Peru. The beetles of the family Silphidae (Coleoptera) are necrophagous and predator insects associated with forensic entomology. In Peru the presence of six species of this family is known. In order to complement the information of this group in Peru, the Entomological Collection of the University of Cusco, Perú (CEUC - UNSAAC) has been reviewed, where the presence of five species of the family has been verified. Diagnosis, information on geographic distribution and comments on the ecology of the six Peruvian species are presented. The geographic information, accompanied by the pictorial keys presented, is expected to facilitate the knowledge about this group of beetles.
