Abstract

Carrion beetles from the corpse of a neotropical otter from Jalisco, Mexico are described, including Creophilus maxillosus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Satphylinidae), Saprinus sp. 1, Saprinus sp. 2 (Histeridae) and Necrobia rufipes (Fabricius, 1781) (Cleridae). These beetles are usually recognized as part of the necrocolous (associated with carrion) assemblages of beetles around the world.
