Summary: In this thesis has been reconstructed a phylogeny of Aphodiinae Iberian, including a total of 105 characters related venación wing, OA and external morphology, as well as sequences of Cytochrome C Oxidase I and II and TRNA-Leu (1210posiciones). analysis shows a lack of resolution of the phylogenetic relationships, but it is discarded due to homoplasia.Los Aphodiinae prodrían have experienced a phenomenon of radiation at the source, although it has not been confirmed statistically. Moreover, it tried to determine the degree of knowledge of the inventory of species of the families of escarbeidos coprófagos of Paleártico.Occidental and recognize some of their characteristics associated with the description of species. The results indicate that still would be around a 16 % of species Aphodiidea be discovered and that the new species were found in small enclaves in the south and east of Paleártico West. Likewise, it realizaronanálisis grouping among biogeographic regions to discuss relations between the faunas of Aphodiinae globally and Paleártico Occidental.Se have recognized two types of world regions: basically producing (Paleártica, Afrotropical and eastern) and basically receiving Aphodiinae (rest). Inside the Paleártico West, the Iberian peninsula is related primarily to peninsulas Itálicas and Bática.Europa Central and Mogreb. Finally, explored the variables that explain the diversity of species Aphodiinae at the Iberian peninsula, type topographical, geographical diversity ambiental.climatico, lithological and uses ganaderos.Algunos of climatic factors, litológicos, applications and ranchers geographical are able to explain their variación.La distribution Aphodiinae Iberian shows two areas with a larger number of species, located in the southern and north-west of the peninsula, due mainly to factors character geográfico-histórico. Keywords: beetles manure, Aphodiidae, biodiversity.
