Abstract

Zopherus chilensis Gray, 1932 (Coleoptera: Zopheridae), is a small size saproxylic beetle called “Maquech”. This Neotropical specie has peculiar connotations into Maya´s culture. In this paper we show the ornamental use of Z. chilensis and our ultimate goal is to claim for a comprehensive conservation of biodiversity of saproxylic beetles from Mexico.
