A preliminary list of beetles of forensic importance from Peru is presented, based on bibliographic revision. As a result, eight families, 31 genera, and 94 species are reported. According to their frequency in studies reviewed or number of species of forensic importance in each of them, genera and species that deserve special attention in Peru are highlighted and discussed taking into account the available evidence from the Neotropical region.References
