| description | In Mexico, the Scarabaeoidea beetles are commonly known as "May beetles", "June beetles" or "San Juan beetles" and in the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico, they are not widely known, due to the lack of specialists in the group in that entity and the poor interest by specialists from other institutions outside of Aguascalientes. Therefore, this contribution aims to update the specific richness of Scarabaeoidea and compare it between municipalities, types of vegetation, biogeographic provinces, and protected natural areas; in addition to comparing it with the richness known in other states of the country. To do this, an exhaustive review of beetle records in the literature, in two national entomological collections, and through occasional collections in some sites in the state was made. One hundred and five species of beetles were recorded, of which 36 are first state records and one new species of Phyllophaga remains to be described. Even when this contribution is relevant in the number of species, it is possible that some species are missing to record in the entity due to the lack of systematized sampling, the few records in deciduous forest and xerophytic scrub, the small number of localities with records of beetles and the fact that the largest number of species has occurred in urban areas, among other factors. The current species richness of the state is high compared to states with similar territorial extension and climatic conditions, with the exception of Morelos, and even compared to some states in the north and center of the country with greater territorial extension. 50 % of the species are located in three protected natural areas of the state, highlighting the "Sierra Fría" and the "Agua Zarca" Biological Station, where the study and conservation of biodiversity are promoted. |

En México, los coleópteros Scarabaeoidea se conocen comúnmente como “escarabajos de mayo”, “escarabajos de junio” o “escarabajos sanjuaneros” y en el estado de Aguascalientes, México, es bajo su grado de conocimiento debido a la falta de especialistas en el grupo en esa entidad y a la falta de interés por parte de especialistas de otras instituciones fuera de Aguascalientes. Por lo anterior, esta contribución tiene como finalidad actualizar la riqueza específica de Scarabaeoidea y compararla entre municipios, tipos de vegetación, provincias biogeográficas y áreas naturales protegidas, además de compararla con la riqueza conocida en otros estados del país. Para ello, se hizo una revisión exhaustiva de registros de escarabajos en la literatura, en dos colecciones entomológicas nacionales y mediante recolectas ocasionales en algunos sitios del estado. Se registraron 105 especies de escarabajos, de las cuales 36 son primeros registros estatales y una especie nueva de Phyllophaga que aún no se describe. Aun cuando la aportación es relevante en el número de especies, es posible que falte registrar algunas especies en la entidad debido a la carencia de muestreos sistematizados, los pocos registros en selva baja caducifolia y matorral xerófilo, el reducido número de localidades con registros de escarabajos y el hecho de que el mayor número de especies se haya presentado en áreas urbanas, entre otros factores. La actual riqueza de especies del estado es alta en comparación con algunos estados de extensión territorial y condiciones climáticas similares, con excepción de Morelos, e incluso comparada con algunos estados más extensos que Aguascalientes del norte y centro del país. El 50 % de las especies se localizan en tres áreas naturales protegidas del estado, destacando la “Sierra Fría” y la Estación Biológica “Agua Zarca”, donde se promueve el estudio y la conservación de la biodiversidad.
