Abstract	This paper presents the first observations of the Coleoptera genera: Attagenus Latreille 1802 (Dermestidae), Phradonoma Jacquelin du Val 1859 (Dermestidae), and Trichodes Herbst 1792 (Cleridae) in association with Mantodea oothecae; in particular, it is the first time that predator/inquiline beetle larvae are recorded on Bolivaria Stal 1877 (Mantodea Rivetinidae) oothecae. Furthermore, a new host species for Thaumaglossa rufocapillata Redtenbacher 1867 (Dermestidae) is documented. In addition, we provide a short review of the knowledge regarding the association between beetle larvae and Mantodea oothecae worldwide.
