Resum
New data on the Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) community related to animal corpses in southeastern Iberian Peninsula are given. A study was conducted at Sierra Espuña foothills using a modified Schoenly type trap, with pitfall traps inside and baited with a piglet, following the methodology applied previously. Samples were taken during 8 consecutive weeks in each season of the year. Specimens belonging to 18 different species were collected. Of them, 6 species (≈33%) are new records for the Región de Murcia, widening their currently known distribution. Besides, four species are reported from the cadaveric ecosystem for the first time. The most representative species was Creophilus maxillosus, which dominated the community all along the seasons.
