Distribución conocida y potencial de las especies de geotrupinae (coleoptera: scarabaeoidea) en México

The available data on the geotrupids species present in the Mexican Republic was compiled, taking into account the literature citations as well as the available data in several entomologic collections. A database (GEOMEX) was developed based on these data, which was useful to extract an actualized list of all the species present in the Mexican territory. Distribution maps, both observed and potential, were produced, those latter by means of a methodology based on maximum entropy models (MaxEnt). Some other biogeographic data are also supplied, as well as climatic optimum values for each species.
