Passalidae is a family of shiny- black, cylindrical-elongated body beetles, also known as “bessbugs”, “bess beetles” or “horned beetles”. Passalids are easy-recognized for having a couple of “horns” on the head.
Passalid beetles can be found in rotting logs. A bole taken up by “Bess bugs” can be recognized for the presence of holes on the cortex tree.
And if we go into the trunk, we will detect series of well-measured conducts where passalids spend, almost, all their adult-life eating timber.
Ecologically, Passalidae has a crucial role in nature: degrading wood, and recycling organic matter.
There are more than 600 species of Passalidae worldwide. However, Passalidae variety increases in tropical areas. In Central America, Guatemala has the highest diversity of passalid beetles. According to an article sponsored by Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, in Atitlán Lake surrounding, there are 10 species of passalids (Passalidae).
