Abstract
A key to the identification of the phanaeine genera, based in Edmonds (1972), is presented. A dicotornic key to the phanaeine species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Coprinae) of Colombia is proposed. This key was achieved by checking the phanaeine material from seven Colombian entomological collections.
