| description | Lagunas de Montebello National Park in Chiapas, is considered an important area for biodiversity conservation in Mexico, so we was studied the fauna of Scarabaeoidea in the main habitat conditions: montane rain (MRF), pine-oak-sweetgum (POSF) and pine (PF), during February to August 2010. The beetles was obtained using 27 traps baited with ferments of banana (Musa paradisiaca), nine pitfall traps baited with human feces, 27 pitfall traps baited with squid meat, three white fluorescent light traps, three black light traps and the direct capture of individuals. We obtained a total of 67 speciesbelonging to three families and 31 genera. The type of vegetation richer was MRF with 46 species, followed by POSF and PF with 41 and 35 species respectively. However, the exponential of the Shannon-Wiener index obtained its highest value in the PF recording 10.91 species. Clench’s equation and the linear dependence model estimated a capture effort of 68% and 94% respectively. The estimation of beta diversity was calculated using Jaccard’s Coefficient and Complementarity. We was recorded the biggest similarity between the faunas of POSF and MRF (0.49), while the highest dissimilarity was presented at the MRF-PF ratio (0.62). The influence of precipitation was determined with Spearman correlations, being significant with the species richness of the MRF (Rho = 0.73; p = 0.007), POSF (Rho = 0.67; p = 0.018) y PF (Rho = 0.68; p = 0.015), while the abundance was significantly correlated with precipitation in the MRF (Rho = 0.61, p = 0.035). It is important conservation areas such as the Lagunas de Montebello National Park, which has a different forest types and an increase in the intensity of human activities in recent years, even in areas subject to preservation possibly affecting species with habitat specificity. |

El Parque Nacional Lagunas de Montebello, Chiapas, se considera una zona de importancia para la conservación de la biodiversidad en México, por lo cual se estudió la diversidad de Scarabaeoidea en las principales condiciones de hábitat del parque: mesófilo de montaña (BMM), pino-encino-liquidámbar (BPEL) y pino (BP), durante febrero a agosto de 2010. Los escarabajos se obtuvieron mediante el uso de 27 carpotrampas cebadas con plátano fermentado (Musa paradisiaca), nueve coprotrampas cebadas con excremento humano, 27 necrotrampas cebadas con carne de calamar, tres trampas de luzfluorescente blanca, tres trampas de luz negra, así como la captura directa de escarabajos. Se obtuvieron un total de 67 especies pertenecientes a tres familias y 31 géneros. El tipo de vegetación con mayor riqueza fue el BMM con 46 especies, seguido del BPEL y el BP con 41 y 35 especies respectivamente. No obstante, el exponencial del índice de Shannon-Wiener obtuvo su valor más alto en el BP registrando 10.91 especies. La ecuación de Clench y el modelo de Dependencia Lineal estimaron una eficiencia de captura del 68% y 94% respectivamente. La diversidad beta se calculó mediante los coeficientes de similitud de Jaccard y Complementariedad. Se registró la mayor similitud entre las faunas del BPEL y BMM (0.49), mientras que la mayor disimilitud se presentó en la relación BMM-BP (0.62). Las correlaciones de Spearman demostraron la influencia de la precipitación en la riqueza de especies en todos los tipos de vegetación: BMM (Rho = 0.73; p = 0.007), BPEL (Rho = 0.67; p = 0.018) y BP (Rho = 0.68; p = 0.015), mientras que la abundancia de organismos se correlacionó significativamente con la precipitación en el BMM (Rho = 0.61; p = 0.035). Es de importancia la conservación de zonas como el Parque Nacional Lagunas de Montebello, el cual presenta un gradiente de diferentes tipos de bosques y un aumento en la intensidad de actividades antrópicas durante los últimos años, incluso en las zonas sujetas a preservación, posiblemente afectando a las especies con especificidad de hábitat.
