Correction of the Brazilian state of the type locality or previous records of the following species is provided: Chrysoprasis hypocrita Erichson, 1847; Coccoderus longespinicornis Fuchs, 1964; Compsibidion fairmairei (Thomson, 1865); Cycnidolon obliquum Martins, 1969; Dioridium hirsutum Zajciw, 1961; Eburodacrys rubicunda Monn & Martins, 1992; Engyum aurantium Martins, 1970; Oxymerus basalis (Dalman, 1823); Pachypeza phegea Dillon & Dillon, 1945; Aerenea brunnea Thomson, 1868. A forgotten record of Poeciloxestia minuta Fragoso, 1978 is pointed out. Trachyderes variegatus Perty, 1832 is considered a junior synonym of Andraegoidus nigrofasciatus (Gory, 1831).

Article Synopsis
- The text catalogs and illustrates the Peruvian specimens of the Cerambycidae family held at Lund University's Biological Museum, detailing 81 specimens across 38 species, 29 genera, and more.
- It announces Anisopodus ligneus as a new record for Peru and confirms Aegomorphus nigricans' presence in the country, with 22 other species also being newly recorded for the region.
- Colobothea and Taeniotes are highlighted as the most diverse genera, each containing three species, and the text includes a note on the variation in elytral pubescence of Anisopodus prolixus.
A new species of Ontherus Erichson, 1847 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Coprini) from Loja province (southern Ecuador) is described. The new species is putatively assigned to the subgenus Ontherus. An updated identification key is provided for the Ecuadorian species of Ontherus.

Necrophagous insects, including flies and beetles, play pivotal roles in decomposition, ecology, and forensics. Their diversity and activities vary across environments, necessitating comprehensive studies for understanding and management. The aim of the study is to investigate insect infestation on animal carcasses, human cadavers, and myiasis patients to enhance ecological, forensic, and medical entomological understanding, aiding in ecosystem management, forensic investigations, and disease control.

Dichotomius Hope, 1838 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) is a very abundant and diverse genus of dung beetles of the New World ecosystems, with about 190 species, distributed in four subgenera. Luederwaldt (Separata Rev Mus Paul 14: 3-13 1929) proposed the division of subgenera into sections (now species groups) based mainly on characters of external morphology. Based on Luederwaldt's proposal, progress has been made in recent years in the taxonomic revision of the genus; however, inconsistencies have been found in the subgeneric division and species groups proposed by this author.

More than 4700 nominal family-group names (including names for fossils and ichnotaxa) are nomenclaturally available in the order Coleoptera. Since each family-group name is based on the concept of its type genus, we argue that the stability of names used for the classification of beetles depends on accurate nomenclatural data for each type genus. Following a review of taxonomic literature, with a focus on works that potentially contain type species designations, we provide a synthesis of nomenclatural data associated with the type genus of each nomenclaturally available family-group name in Coleoptera.
