A key to 16 histerid species associated with decaying carcasses in Argentina is presented, including diagnoses and habitus photographs for these species. This article provides a table of all species associated with carcasses, detailing the substrate from which they were collected and geographical distribution by province. All 16 Histeridae species registered are grouped into three subfamilies: Saprininae (twelve species of Euspilotus Lewis and one species of Xerosaprinus Wenzel), Histerinae (one species of Hololepta Paykull and one species of Phelister Marseul) and Dendrophilinae (one species of Carcinops Marseul). Two species are new records for Argentina: Phelister rufinotus Marseuland Carcinops troglodytes (Paykull). A discussion is presented on the potential forensic importance of some species collected on human and pig carcasses.
本文介绍了与阿根廷腐烂尸体相关的16种阎甲科物种的检索表,包括这些物种的诊断信息和形态照片。本文提供了与尸体相关的所有物种的表格,详细说明了它们的采集基质和按省份划分的地理分布。记录的所有16种阎甲科物种分为三个亚科:葬甲亚科(12种真葬甲属Lewis和1种干葬甲属Wenzel)、阎甲亚科(1种全瘦阎甲属Paykull和1种嗜尸阎甲属Marseul)和树栖阎甲亚科(1种掘尸阎甲属Marseul)。有两个物种是阿根廷的新记录:红翅嗜尸阎甲Marseul和穴居掘尸阎甲(Paykull)。文中讨论了在人类和猪尸体上采集的一些物种的潜在法医重要性。
