Abstract: This paper is the result of the forensic entomological studies carried out in the suburbs of Beijing (Qingbe, 40°0'N, 116°3'E; Miyun, 400°3'N, 116°8'E; Fangshan, 39°6'N, 115°9'E). Totally 878 beetle specimens were collected and identified and they contain38 species belonging to 13 families and 26 genera. There are 11 species (40.0% of the localtotal )only found in Qinghe; 2 species (15.4 % )only in Miyun; 11 (52.4 % )only in Fangshan.The three sites show different values of species diversity: Fangshan H'=2.45, Qinghe H'= 1.72, Miyun H'=1.60.This result is potentially applicable to find Out the removing ofcorpse between different sites.
