Abstract

Dynastinae beetles were collected at Querari, District of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, upper rio Negro, State of Amazonas in April-May/1993. A mixed 250W mercury vapor lamp, a black light (BL) and black light blue (BLB) lamps were used to atract insects on a white sheet in 33 collecting night periods of 12 consecutive hours. 76 specimens were collected, of 20 species, and 10 genera were identified. The tribe Cyclocephalini was the most representative (10 species), followed by Phileurini (4 spp.), Oryctini (3 spp.), Dynastini (2 spp.) and Pentodontini (1 sp.). 7 species were recorded for the first time to the State of Amazonas, 5 to Brazil.
