RESUMEN La riqueza biológica de Mesoamérica es enorme. Dentro de esta gran área geográfi ca se encuentran algunos de los ecosistemas más diversos del planeta (selvas tropicales), así como varios de los principales centros de endemismo en el mundo (bosques nublados). Países como Guatemala, en esta gran área biogeográfi ca, tiene grandes zonas de bosque húmedo tropical y bosque mesófi lo, por esta razón es muy importante para analizar la diversidad en la región. Lamentablemente, la fauna de mariposas de Guatemala es poco conocida y por lo tanto, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio y análisis de la composición y la diversidad de las mariposas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) en Guatemala.

Very few studies have examined the regeneration of tropical dry forests (TDF), one of the most damaged ecosystem types in the world. Owing to their species diversity and abundance, insects have been widely used as bioindicators of restoration. Butterflies were among the most abundant and useful groups. We sampled four sites with different levels of anthropogenic disturbance in a Mexican TDF (Morelos State) and compared butterfly communities. A first goal was to examine whether adult butterflies were significant bioindicators owing to their specificity to restricted habitats. A second aim was to determine if differences exist in butterfly communities between some fields abandoned from 4–8, 8–15 and 15–30 years and a reference zone considered as primary forest. We found 40% to 50% of the species of butterflies were specifically related to a habitat and/or a level of anthropogenic disturbance.

  • NCWF Pollinator Guide
    North Carolina Wildlife Federation 2020 North Carolina Pollinator Identification Guide North Carolina Wildlife Federation www.ncwf.org 1 North Carolina Wildlife Federation 2020 Table of Contents: Pollinator ID Guide 1. Introduction 2. Bees, Ants, and Wasps a. NC Families of Bees ​ ​ 3. Butterflies and Moths a. Main Families of Butterflies ​ ​ 4. Beetles a. Flower Beetle 5. Flies a. Syrphid Flies 6. Birds a. Ruby-Throated Hummingbird Introduction: The purpose of this pollinator identification guide is to educate wildlife stewards on common pollinators that are endemic to North Carolina. Pollinators are vastly important to the health of our ecosystems and to the production of our food. With growing concern over the loss of viable habitat for our pollinators, NCWF is committed to the education on the importance of pollinator gardens and gardening for wildlife. We hope that this pollinator identification guide will encourage viewers to learn more about the pollinators that can be found in their homes and neighborhoods as well as their important ecological services. This guide also includes a few examples of endangered or threatened pollinator species to help emphasize the need to increase pollinator habitat. Endangered species often rely on specific conditions in an environment in order to survive, but climate change and urban sprawl have reduced viable habitat by shifting average temperatures of an ecosystem, reducing numbers of available host plants, and polluting natural areas. The ability to identify pollinators in our backyards strengthens human-wildlife connections in our communities and helps spread awareness for habitat conservation. Education and individual actions are key to the preservation of these disappearing species.

  • Papilionidae (Lepidoptera) De Nicaragua
    Rev. Nica. Ent., 66 (2006), Suplemento 3, 241 pp. PAPILIONIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA) DE NICARAGUA. Por Jean-Michel MAES* * Museo Entomológico de León, Nicaragua – [email protected] INTRODUCTION Los Papilionidae son probablemente los Lepidoptera más famosos, conocidos por su tamaño grande y sus colores vistosos. Las larvas son gusanos de color oscuro, que presentan una glandula eversible en forma de lengua de serpiente, en el primer segmento toracico, que sirve como mecanismo de defensa contra enemigos naturales. Muchas larvas son mimeticos de excrementos de pajaros, otras presentan sobre el torax un par de ojos pintados que los hace parecer serpientes. Las plantas hospederas son principalmente Rutaceae, Piperaceae, Annonaceae, Aristolochiaceae y Apiaceae. La clasificación usada aqui esta basada en Nijhout (1991), Tyler, Brown & Wilson (1994) y actualizada con Lamas (2004). La familia Papilionidae se divide en tres subfamilias, los Baroniinae y Paranassinae que no ocurren en Nicaragua y los Papilioninae. Los Papilioninae estan representados en Nicaragua por 3 tribus : Graphiini, Troidini y Papilionini. Se presentan en este trabajo 28 especies de Papilionidae de Nicaragua y 87 especies exóticas. La especie Heraclides erostratus (WESTWOOD) constituye un nuevo reporte para la fauna de Nicaragua.

  • Butterflies of the State of Colima, Mexico
    Jm".nal of the Lepidopterists' Society 52(1 ), 1998, 40-72 BUTIERFLIES OF THE STATE OF COLIMA, MEXICO ANDRE W D, WARREN 99.51 East Ida Place, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80ll1, USA AND ISABEL VARGAS F" ARMANDO LUIS M" AND JORGE LLORENTE B. Museo de Zoologia, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Aut6noma de Mexico. Apdo. Postal 70-399, Mexico 04.510 D.F., MEXICO ABSTRACT. A survey of the butte rfli es of Colima, Mexico is presc nted , in which .543 species from 280 genera and 22 subfamilies of Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea are listed. Ove r 100 species are reported from Colima for the first time. This list was c reated by re­ viewing the past Lepidoptera literature, the major collections in the United States and Mexico with Mexican material, as well as by fieldwork at 10 sites carried o ut by the au­ thors. For each species, capture localities, adult Bight dates, and references for the data are provided. An analysis of our knowledge of Colima's butterBy Lmna is presented, and comparisons with equivalent faunal works on Jalisco and Michoacan are made . About 78% of the species known from Colima a re also known from Michoac!in, while about 88% of the species reported from Colima are also known from Jalisco. There are 31 species that have been reported from Colima but not fram Michoacan or Jalisco, and for most of these, we have no explanation for such an exclusive distribution, except the need for more field­ work in all three states. Only o ne species, Zohera alhopunctata, appears to be endemic to Colima.
