Abstract: Knowledge of the entomofauna associated with a specific geographic region is considered of ecological, economic and social importance; for decision making in the productive processes carried out by man to obtain resources; either for the conservation of agroecosystems or for the use of natural resources. In this sense, the present work was carried out in several municipalities of the central depression of Chiapas and with specimens that are deposited in the entomological collection of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences of the Autonomous University of Chiapas, with the purpose of ordering and determining the new collection sites for specimens of the Geotrupinae subfamily; To achieve the objective, 54 specimens of the subfamily Geotrupinae from the tribes Bolboceratini (2), Geotrupini (1) and Athyreini (3) were reviewed, obtained in sporadic collections with fluorescent light, in public lighting and by reviewing cattle excrement; In addition, the specimens deposited from the entomological Collection of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences (CACH) were reviewed and separated, which were collected in various municipalities of the state of Chiapas. The species Bolbelasmus arcuatus, Bolbelasmus variabilis, Haplogeotrupes (Geotrupes) guatemalensis unidentatus, Neoathyreus excavatus, Neoathyreus fissicornis and Neoathyreus mexicanus were determined. It is important and necessary to carry out collection studies of specimens of the Geotrupinae subfamily in other regions of the state to determine their distribution and abundance.
