Abstract

Con base a trabajo de campo reciente y revisión de ejemplares en museos se conocen 70 especies de escarabajos descortezadores y ambrosiales en el estado de Sonora. De estas, 43 se reportan por primera vez del estado. Especies sociadas a bosques templados de montaña (pinos y encinos) formaban el grupo más diverso con 30 especies, seguido por las de bosques tropicales secos con 23especies. En ambos grupos las especies incluidas tienen distribuciones más amplias fuera de la región. Hubo 15 especies asociadas a comunidades desérticas y matorrales, 9 de las cuales se pueden considerar endémicas al Desierto Sonorense. Dos especies exóticas están asociadas a ecosistemas dominados por humanos. Independiente de la comunidad biótica, casi todas las especies encontradas eran fleófagas y especialistas respecto a hospederas.
