Histeridae and Staphylinidae are related families that share habitats and can be sampled by the same collection methods. However, there is a lack of regional lists of these families in several regions from Brazil. This study aims to present the first list of Histeridae and Staphylinidae from the state of Acre, Brazil. The list of species was elaborated based on the literature and study of some entomological collections. In total, 16 species and six genera of Histeridae, and 13 species and eight genera of Staphylinidae were recorded. Of all these, one species of Histeridae is recorded for the first time in Brazil. Ten species of Histeridae and five species of Staphylinidae are recorded for the first time in the state of Acre. In addition, information about known geographic distribution and ecology of these species are provided. We hope that our data can contribute to updating the Taxonomic Catalog of Brazilian Fauna (TCBF).
