Four assemblages of Leiodidae were studied by sampling with carrion-baited traps, from August 2019 to July 2020, in four types of vegetation (sub-deciduous forest, cloud forest, oak forest, and pine forest) in the Haravéri Botanical Garden, San Sebastián del Oeste, Jalisco, México. A total of 1196 cholevine and one leiodine leiodids were collected. Dissochaetus was the most abundant and diverse genus with 1159 specimens representing six species. Dissochaetus sp. 1 was the most abundant species, with 360 individuals. Additionally, 36 specimens of Adelopsis and one specimen of Liocyrtusa were collected. Species seasonal activity differs by vegetation type. Winter was the season with the highest abundance. Of the four types of vegetation, cloud forest had the most diverse and abundant cholevine fauna, while pine forest had the least abundance. An additional three species of Dissochaetus were found, but not determined to species.
