The checklist of the species of fungus beetle families Endomychidae and Anamorphidae from El Salvador is updated. Only six species of Endomychidae and one Anamorphidae have been previously recorded from the country, with specific localities reported only for two of them. The study of specimens collected in El Salvador over 60 years ago by Jan and Bohumila Bechyné and held in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, allowed us to have a better idea on the diversity and distribution of these beetles in the country. Eight species of Endomychidae and one of Anamorphidae arerep orted here, including three first records for El Salvador: Anidrytus guatemalae Arrow, Epipocus bifidus Gerstaecker andStenotarsus ovalis Arrow. Additionally, first records for species of Endomychidae from countries of the Neotropical region are provided: Anidrytus batesi Strohecker from Peru, A. ovatulus Gerstaecker from Guyana, Ephebus hirtulus Stroheckerfrom Paraguay, Epopterus vacuus Gerstaecker from Costa Rica and Acinaces unicolor Tomaszewska from Peru.References
