We present a list of Passalidae species found in the westmost Brazilian Amazon region, which is considered to be a diversity-rich area due to being a tectonic and geographic transition zone in relation to Brazilian Amazon lowlands and the Andean range. The specimens acquired in field collections and museums were analyzed. Their geographical distributions were estimated based on data from labeled specimens and the literature. Twenty-nine species belonging to two subfamilies, six genera, and four subgenera were listed. Among them, 20, 1, and 2 showed to be new records for the region, Brazilian Amazon, and Brazil, respectively. An identification key is provided for the species being listed.
我们列出了在巴西最西部亚马逊地区发现的拟步甲科物种清单,该地区因处于巴西亚马逊低地与安第斯山脉之间的构造和地理过渡带而被认为是一个生物多样性丰富的地区。对野外采集和博物馆获取的标本进行了分析。根据带标签标本的数据和文献估计了它们的地理分布。列出了属于两个亚科、六个属和四个亚属的29个物种。其中,分别有20种、1种和2种被证明是该地区、巴西亚马逊地区和巴西的新记录物种。为所列物种提供了一个鉴定检索表。
