Biota Neotrop. 13(1): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v13n1/en/ abstract?article+bn04013012013 Abstract: The aim of this paper was to describe the seasonal patterns of Chrysomelidae and of its most abundant species at eight sites in different geomorphological and floristic regions in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil. Samples with Malaise traps, from August 1986 to July 1988 were performed. The Chrysomelidae showed seasonal patterns with the highest abundance in the spring and/or summer at all sites, but with variations in the months of highest captures. Photoperiod was the variable that most influenced the seasonality of Chrysomelidae, and along with temperature and relative humidity, determined most of the seasonal patterns of the family at the different sites. Some dominant species of Chrysomelidae showed different seasonal pattern compared to the family level. A better knowledge of the seasonal distribution patterns of these species will only be possible when their life history, such as host plants and behavior, was better understood. Keywords: abundance, Alticini, herbivorous insects, distribution pattern, seasonality. LINZMEIER, A.M. & RIBEIRO-COSTA, C.S.

As coletas foram realizadas com armadilha Malaise de agosto/1986 a julho/1988. Chrysomelidae apresentou padrão sazonal com picos de abundância na primavera e/ou verão em todos os locais, mas com variações quanto aos meses de maior captura. O fotoperíodo foi a variável com maior influência na sazonalidade de Chrysomelidae e juntamente com a temperatura e umidade relativa, determinaram a maioria dos padrões sazonais da família nos diferentes locais. Algumas das espécies dominantes de Chrysomelidae apresentaram padrão sazonal distinto do observado para a família. O entendimento dos padrões de distribuição das espécies de Chrysomelidae somente será possível quando informações sobre a história de vida, como plantas hospedeiras e comportamento, forem melhor esclarecidas.

El presente estudio se desarrolló en el Cañón de la Peregrina, municipio de Victoria, Tamaulipas. El objetivo fue determinar la fauna de Galerucinae presente en la zona, además de analizar la variación altitudinal y estacional del grupo. Se realizaron 240 muestreos, donde se registraron 1,828 ejemplares distribuidos en 76 especies y 38 géneros. Se encontró que la abundancia disminuye y la diversidad aumenta conforme se incrementa el gradiente elevacional. La mayor riqueza se presentó en el matorral espinoso tamaulipeco. Invierno es la estación con mayor número de ejemplares; primavera registró el mayor número de especies, mientras que la diversidad fue mayor en verano. La escasa similitud existente entre sitios y estaciones sugiere un elevado recambio de especies. Palabras clave: Galerucinae, riqueza de especies, abundancia, diversidad Galerucinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) from Peregrina Canyon, Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico ABSTRACT. The present study was conducted in the Peregrina Canyon, municipality of Victoria, Tamaulipas. The objectives were to determine the Galerucinae fauna present in the area, and analyze the altitudinal and seasonal variation of the group. A total of 1,828 specimens were collected.

Se presentan datos de plantas hospederas de la literatura, si existen, para los taxa de escarabajos incluidos. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in relationships between tropi- cal plants and insects. The interest is driven by the related agendas of studying them for their intrinsic scientific interest, and protecting tropical biodiversity through find- ing practical and non-destructive ways to use it. The latter agenda is exemplified by the biochemical prospecting programs recently started in several areas of the world (Reid et al.

In this review, the host plant associations and geographical distributions of known species in these gen- era are summarised from the literature, and their proposed phylogenetic relationships to other Alticini analysed from published molecular phylogenetic studies of Galerucinae. Almost all Phyllotreta species are specialised on Brassicaceae and related plant families in the order Brassicales, whereas Psylliodes species are associated with host plants in approximately 24 different plant families, and 50% are specialised to feed on Brassicaceae.

Arthropods serve this purpose because they are abundant and diverse in urban areas, and relatively easy to collect. Over seven years, in the Central Arizona Phoenix area, arthropod communities in three urban habitat categories were collected and compared to arthropods in natural desert using pitfall traps and non-parametric analyses.

Furth National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., USA Abstract. The current state of knowledge of the diversity for Alticinae recorded from Mexico is taken from the histori- cal literature, determined specimens primarily in the U.S. National Museum, including material collected by the author, as well as from several other institutions. An Appendix is provided containing a list of generic and specific names re- corded from Mexico, including the known distribution for each species by Mexican state and the source for that infor- mation. There are 89 genera and 524 species currently known from Mexico. Although preliminary, this is a significant increase from the published literature. The Alticinae species diversity per Mexican state is also provided. Some discus- sion of the Mexican Alticinae biogeographic affinities is given. The following changes in status are made: Syphrea bibi- ana Bechyné = Nesaecrepida infúscala (Schaeffer); Palaeothona Jacoby is raised from synonymy with Lupraea Jacoby and considered valid; Varicoxa Bechyné = Luperaltica Crotch; Kitschelina gracilis Jacoby is raised from synonymy with K. laeta (Perbosc) and considered valid; Aphthona dimidiaticornis Jacoby, A. fulvipennis Jacoby, A. maculipennis Jacoby, A. mexicana (Jacoby), A. pallipes (Jacoby), A. semipunctata Jacoby, and A. substriata Jacoby are all considered to be in Centralaphthona Bechyné; Aphthona amulensis Jacoby = Genaphthona Bechyné; Aphthonajulvitarsis Jacoby = Gioia Bechyné; A. championi Jacoby = Lupraea.
