The odonates community from Cuetzalan and surroundings was studied through direct collections of adults in the years 2007 and 2009. Seventy-two species included in 37 genera and 11 families of the suborders Zygoptera and Anisoptera, were found, of which 19 species are new records for Puebla State. The collections efficiency was evaluated with three non-parametric estimators, reaching percentages of 82-98%. Phylogenetic diversity was calculated and compared to other two areas with cloud forest cover in the Northern Mountain Range in Puebla state and Hidalgo state, resulting more diverse that of Cuetzalan. An illustrated key to adult odonate species is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se reporta por primera vez la presencia de la chinche marrón marmolada Halyomorpha halys en la Argentina, con ejemplares provenientes de la localidad de 9 de Julio, provincia de Buenos Aires. Se compara a esta especie con especies de Pentatominae de Buenos Aires de aspecto similar. Adicionalmente se mapean todos los registros fotográficos conocidos de esta especie. Ampliamos también la distribución geográfica de Pellaea stictica, especie aquí estudiada por su proximidad taxonómica con H. halys.

Se reporta por primera vez la presencia de la chinche del arce o chinche del maple Boisea trivittata en Argentina, con ejemplares provenientes de Godoy Cruz, Mendoza. Adicionalmente se entregan los primeros registros en Chile para la Región del Maule correspondientes a las localidades de Curicó y Romeral, siendo hasta ahora los más australes en Sudamérica.

Nuevos muestreos, mediante trampas de caída (pitfall) y captura activa, realizados en la sierra de Aitana, que incluye el pico más alto de la provincia de Alicante (1.558 m s.n.m.), han aportado 93 especímenes pertenecientes a 22 especies de miriápodos (Diplopoda, Chilopoda) y dos especies de isópodos terrestres (Crustacea, Oniscidea) representando a 12 familias y 16 géneros. Con este estudio se incrementa en más del doble el número de especies citadas en la sierra de Aitana, que pasan de 16 a 33. El número de diplópodos se incrementa de siete a 13, el de quilópodos pasa de tres a 13, el de isópodos terrestres asciende de cinco a seis y el de sínfilos se mantiene en uno. Además, siete especies son primera cita para la provincia de Alicante, seis de las cuales también lo son para la Comunidad Valenciana. Los estudios faunísticos son el primer paso para la protección de la fauna local, sus endemismos y los singulares enclaves en los que estas especies habitan.

Mediterranean temporary rivers maintain a high biodiversity, although they support a significant anthropic influence. The community of aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera of the Arevalillo River (N Ávila province), a temporary river in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, with a section previously restored. This restauration consisted in the reforestation of the riverside and the recovery of pools in the riverbed to ensure the maintenance of the water. The aim is to determine the composition of the aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera community, its seasonal variation and the differences between two sections with similar characteristics, restored and non-restored, on these groups of aquatic insects. 53 species of Coleoptera and 17 of Hemiptera were identified, most of them with a wide geographical distribution, although 21 new records were made for the province of Ávila. The richness of Coleoptera and Hemiptera doesn't show significant differences between the two studied stations, but they are indeed observed for the benthic macroinvertebrate community as a whole.

Ria de Aveiro costal lagoon is a socio-ecological system framed between the land and the sea. The lagoon is embedded in a biodiversity rich landscape mosaic comprising beaches, dunes, sandflats, mudflats, seagrasses, and small water channels, and is one of the largest saltmarsh areas in Portugal and in Europe, supporting coastal food webs and providing nursery areas for several species. Despite being a Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site and integrating the Natura 2000 network, few systematic studies have been carried on its entomofauna. In this work, field collections were carried in seven locations along Ria de Aveiro saltmarsh areas by sweep-netting the dominating halophyte vegetation in September 2020. From these collections, Teratocoris antennatus (Boheman, 1852), a rare marsh bug, is reported for the first time for Portugal.

Se catalogan las 87 especies de Fulgoroidea registradas para Chile pertenecientes a 12 familias. Se recopilan antecedentes nomenclaturales, distribucionales, de plantas hospedantes, y se observa como dudosa la presencia de cuatro especies. Se proporcionan claves para el reconocimiento de las familias, géneros y, en algunos casos, especies. Se reporta un alto endemismo de esta superfamilia para el país, especialmente en el Archipiélago de Juan Fernández y en la zona central, aunque aún falta explorar más las zonas extremas. Se encontraron siete especies en Chile que han sido reportadas como plagas en otras regiones del mundo, pero sin confirmación de daño económico ni de transmisión de agentes infecciosos en nuestro país. Se considera que el conocimiento del rol fitosanitario de los Fulgoroidea aún es bastante escaso, pero el presente aporte contribuirá para comenzar a avanzar en esta materia. Se proponen los siguientes cambios taxonómicos: Catonia maculata (Blanchard, 1852) comb. nov. y como sinónimo senior de Cixius valdiviensis Blanchard, 1852 syn. nov. y Cixius irroratus Blanchard, 1852 syn. nov.; Calbodus correntosoensis (Muir, 1929) comb. nov. y restituido de su sinonimia con C. pallidulus Blanchard, 1852; se sinonimiza Delphacodes latus Remes Lenicov y Tesón, 1979 bajo Calbodus patquianus Fennah, 1965 (syn. nov.) y Delphacodes argentina Remes Lenicov y Tesón, 1979 bajo Nothodelphax atlanticus nigrescens Fennah, 1965 (syn. nov.); Myrophenges Fennah, 1965 se reclasifica desde Achilidae a Derbidae insertae sedis.

Se cita por primera vez para la Argentina a la especie Holcocranum saturejae (Kolenati) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Artheneidae), que se alimenta principalmente de totoras (Typha spp., Typhaceae) y, en menor medida de otras plantas, en base a una muestra proveniente de la Reserva Natural Provincial Santa Catalina en Lomas de Zamora, provincia de Buenos Aires. Se muestran imágenes de ejemplares recolectados y se dan sus caracteres diagnósticos. Se comenta brevemente la importancia de la aparición de esta especie en la Región Neotropical.

The Ons-O Grove Complex is classified as a ZEC zone, it is located in the extreme northwest of the province of Pontevedra (Galicia). It is a coastal wetland of great biological interest formed by a great variety of aquatic environments. A provisional catalog of aquatic beetles is proposed for this wetland consisting of 76 taxa from 11 different families. The data presented have been obtained from different sources, 19 species based on bibliographic citations already published and 57 species (22 Adephaga / 35 Polyphaga) collected within the ZEC Ons-O Grove. The knowledge of the aquatic beetles of the autonomous community of Galicia is expanded with the contribution of 5 new species for this community Dryops gracilis (Karsch, 1881), Helophorus (Rhopalhelophorus) obscurus Mulsant, 1844, Helophorus (Rhopalhelophorus) asturiensis Kuwert, 1885, Helophorus (Helophorus) grandis Illiguer, 1798 and Cercyon (Cercyon) sternalis (Sharp, 1918). This last species is listed for the first time for the iberian peninsula. For the province of Pontevedra there are 11 new species and for the study area 36. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se registra la presencia de Monosteira unicostata (Mulsant y Rey, 1852) en la zona central de Chile, siendo el segundo país de Sudamérica en el que se detecta después de Argentina. Este chinche es originario de la Región Paleártica y es perjudicial para el cultivo de diversas especies frutales.

The beetle families Carabidae and Cicindelidae, with about 40 000 species worldwide, play an increasing role in biodiversity conservation and ecological studies in Colombia, which makes a faunistic update all the more necessary. We present and analyze a checklist of the species so far described or registered from Colombia until 2020, based on published studies, and their distribution data at the department level. Carabidae are represented by 625 species and Cicindelidae by 100. Magdalena, Cundinamarca and Valle del Cauca are the departments with the highest record numbers of Carabidae, while Cicindelidae are most frequently cited from Valle del Cauca, Antioquia and Meta. The greater sampling effort in these regions is likely due to the accessibility of their natural areas from the main towns. The geographical distribution of Cicindelidae is better documented, with only 17 % of the species without mention of specific localities within the country, against 40 % in Carabidae. Hyper-diverse regions, such as the Chocó and the Amazon, are underrepresented. The number of species currently recorded is therefore estimated to be much lower than true diversity for both families.

The spider fauna of the Everglades National Park in southern Florida was surveyed over 2 widely separated time periods: 1966 to 1967 and 2008 to 2009. Samples were made in 4 of the typical Everglades habitats: sawgrass prairie, willowhead marsh, pineland, and tropical hardwood hammock, as well as several "disturbed" areas. A total of 201 spider species was identified. Twenty-three additional taxa were identified only to genus and included for general Everglades information. One species was documented as new and undescribed, and several others possibly may be new. The Everglades National Park is located at the northern border of the Neotropical ecozone and the southern border of the Nearctic ecozone. Forty-seven percent of the species were Nearctic, 37% Nearctic/Neotropical, 12% Cosmopolitan, and 3% Neotropical. The greatest number of species was collected in the hardwood hammock habitat. Life cycles of 10 common species are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Loxicha region in the south of Oaxaca, Mexico has great species richness and endemism of butterflies. We made a systematic faunistic study including sampling in seven years from 2005 to 2014. We describe the diversity of four families of Papilionoidea in the Loxicha Region, with respect to the species richness and endemism of the state and the south of México. We also present a list of species. We recorded 310 taxa from which 28% is endemic to some degree (region, state, country). We compare the diversity of the Loxicha Region to that in Sierra de Atoyac, both regions within the Sierra Madre del Sur in the Pacific slope, both regions combined contain 335 species from which 99 are endemic. The endemism ratio of butterflies in these two localities in the Pacific Slope is higher compared to Sierra de Juarez in the Gulf Slope, which has higher species richness, showing the differences between richness and endemism spatial patterns of these insects. We discuss the importance of faunistic analyses with sufficient sampling effort on the understanding and monitoring of biodiversity. The strategy applied for the Papilionoidea in the Loxicha region can be replicated in other regions with other megadiverse groups to obtain the complete lists of species. This research is part of a wider project focused on the study of the diversity and biogeographical patterns of butterflies in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se hace referencia a la primera cita de Gordius albopunctatus Müller, 1927 (Gordioida) de la península ibérica, a partir de un ejemplar macho y otro hembra capturados en la Sierra de Guadarrama (Madrid).

Se aportan nuevos datos sobre las especies del género Chrysopa Leach, 1815 citadas en la Península Ibérica y Baleares. De las especies mencionadas en su fauna sobre las que existían dudas en la veracidad de sus citas o se había cuestionado su validez taxonómica, se ha estudiado y anotado la mayoría del material correspondiente, tanto ibérico como material de comparación de otras zonas, con la intención de dilucidar estas cuestiones. Bien sea para constatar su presencia en su fauna, con la correspondiente confirmación o corrección de ciertas citas, como para verificar la identidad de algunas especies de este género y algunas de sus variedades descritas, con la confirmación o revisión de su identidad taxonómica. Se confirma la validez de Chrysopa nierembergi Navás, 1908 respecto a C. formosa Brauer, 1850 y se designa para ella Lectotipo. También se designa Lectotipo para Chrysopa nierembergi var. andreui Navás, 1910 y para Chrysopa nierembergi var. clara Navás, 1915, ambas son consideradas sinónimas de C. nierembergi. Se dan por válidas solo dos de las citas ibéricas de Chrysopa phyllochroma Wesmael, 1841, y se confirma la presencia de Chrysopa dubitans McLachlan, 1887 en la fauna ibérica. Se eleva a categoría de especie la variedad Chrysopa nierembergi var. nitens Navás,1909, considerándola como especie válida: Chrysopa nitens Navás, 1909 stat. prom., designando para ella Lectotipo. De estas cinco especies se anotan sus caracteres de morfología externa y de genitalia masculina, así como algunos elementos diagnósticos y comparativos entre ellas o con otras especies próximas. Se comentan y se discuten algunos caracteres habitualmente utilizados en la identificación de las especies de Chrysopidae (variabilidad y persistencia de la pigmentación tegumentaria de los ejemplares según poblaciones, tiempo transcurrido desde su recolección y modo de conservación; uñas dilatadas en su base o no). Por último, y hasta que no existan nuevas evidencias, se descarta definitivamente la supuesta presencia de Chrysopa abbreviata Curtis, 1834 y Chrysopa walkeri McLachlan, 1893 en el solar ibérico, ya que está basada en citas antiguas imprecisas o inconsistentes, no corroboradas por nuevo material. El género Chrysopa está representado en la fauna Ibero-Balear por diez especies, de las cuales se anota y recopila la información existente, y se aporta nuevo material, también se actualizan la clave de especies de este género y los mapas de su distribución en la Península Ibérica y Baleares.

Se reporta por primera vez la presencia de la chinche Leptoglossus occidentalis en Uruguay. Se analizan y discuten los registros en el contexto de la reciente invasión de esta especie en Sudamérica.

From the available bibliographic data, as well as the inventories of species of various collections, all of them collected in the database of BRUCOL, of the Postgraduate College, México, an annotated checklist of species of seed beetles (Coleoptera, Bruchidae) from Bolivia has been prepared. As a result, a list of 95 species of seed beetles is showed, of which 21 species are new records to the currently known Bolivian fauna. Collaterally, this study also detected 23 new records for various countries in America. Moreover, distribution data is offered, which shows the existence of five potentially endemic species of Bolivia and a fauna close to the Brazilian. Finally, a list of host plants of each species is offered, obtaining 11 new host records for some species; in general, the bruchid species presented a predominantly monophago-oligophage trophic regimen in its different grades.
