Abstract

We provide an inventory of the fruit beetles from San Sebastian del Oeste, Jalisco, Mexico. Specimens were collected in four types of vegetation, including pine forest, oak forest, cloud forest and tropical subdeciduous forest. Eight species of Cetoniinae that are members of five genera were collected. The highest abundance was found in September in the pine forest. Gymnetis bajula wollastoni is recorded for the first time from Jalisco. All the specimens of Cotinis mutabilis have the “atrata” pattern, which is characterized by their uniform black dorsal color.

Se realizó un inventario de los escarabajos fruteros en San Sebastián del Oeste, Jalisco, México.

La mayor abundancia se encontró en septiembre en el bosque de pino. Se registra por primera vez para Jalisco a Gymnetis bajula wollastoni. Todos los especímenes de Cotinis mutabilis pertenecen al patrón de coloración “atrata” el cual se caracteriza por ser uniformemente negro en vista dorsal.
