金龟子亚科（Scarabaeinae）区域群的甲虫因其丰富的属和种类，是良好的生境质量指标，近年来在分类学、生态学、自然史、生物多样性和保护研究中得到广泛应用。它们的分类学是比较知名的，但是新的分类群和命名变化经常发生，主要是由于在属水平上的分类修订。目前在新热带地区，有127个分类群（属和亚属之间）被记录下来，厄瓜多尔有59个分类群，属于33属和220种（有23个新记录），还有9个据称可以登记的属。为了促进厄瓜多尔对这一类群的研究和认识，本文提供了厄瓜多尔现存和/或预计存在的新向性甲虫属和亚属的鉴定钥匙，其中包括甲虫科（鞘翅目：甲虫科）现存的新向性甲虫分类群。
The beetles of the Subfamily Scarabaeinae area group that have been used in taxonomic, ecological, natural history, biodiversity and conservation studies recently, as they are good indicators of habitat quality and due to their great genera and species richness. Their taxonomy is relatively well known, however new taxa and nomenclatural changes are frequently ocurring, mainly due to taxonomic revisions at the genus level. Currently in the Neotropics, 127 taxa (between genera and subgenera) are recorded, with 59 taxa belonging to 33 genera and 220 species (with 23 new records) present in Ecuador, and nine more genera that allegedly could be registered. With the aim of promoting the study and knowledge of this group in Ecuador, an identification key for the genera and subgenera present and/ or supposed to be present in this country is provided in this work, which includes current taxa from Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabacidae) for the neotropic.
