Abstract: This study describes the results and collection practices for obtaining arthropod samples to be stud- ied as potential sources of new medicines in a bioprospecting effort. From 1994 to 1998, 1800 arthropod sam- ples of 6-10 g were collected in 21 sites of the Área de Conservación Guancaste (A.C.G) in Northwestern Costa Rica. The samples corresponded to 642 species distributed in 21 orders and 95 families. Most of the collections were obtained in the rainy season and in the tropical rainforest and dry forest of the ACG. Samples were obtained from a diversity of arthropod orders: 49.72% of the samples collected corresponded to Lepidoptera, 15.75% to Coleoptera, 13.33% to Hymenoptera, 11.43% to Orthoptera, 6.75% to Hemiptera, 3.20% to Homoptera and 7.89% to other groups.

Janzena,1 and Winnie Hallwachsa Edited by David L. Wagner, University of Connecticut, and accepted by Editorial Board Member May R. Berenbaum November 11, 2020 (received for review April 6, 2020) We have been field observers of tropical insects on four continents and, since 1978, intense observers of caterpillars, their parasites, and their associates in the 1,260 km2 of dry, cloud, and rain forests of Area´ de Conservaci ´onGuanacaste (ACG) in northwestern Costa Rica. ACG’s natural ecosystem restoration began with its national park designation in 1971. As human biomonitors, or “insectometers,” we see that ACG’s insect species richness and density have gradually declined since the late 1970s, and more intensely since about 2005. The overarching perturbation is climate change. It has caused increasing ambient tempera- tures for all ecosystems; more erratic seasonal cues; reduced, erratic, and asynchronous rainfall; heated air masses sliding up the volcanoes and burning off the cloud forest; and dwindling biodiversity in all ACG terrestrial ecosystems. What then is the next step as climate change descends on ACG’s many small-scale successes in sustainable biodevelopment? Be kind to the survivors by stimulating and facilitating their owner societies to value them as legitimate members of a green sustainable nation.

(Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) L. Racheli Abstract LEMAIRE & VENEDICTOFF (1989) proposed a biogeographical subdivision of Ecuador based on the distri- bution of the Saturniidae. Among the various subdivisions, the pre-Andean zone extending from Venezuela to Boli- via results not to be supported by the distribution of the Saturniidae. A critique of their attempt is given according to the absence of endemisms for this altitudinal zone. A detailed analysis of the species listed by LEMAIRE & VENE- DICTOFF (1989) as “representative species” for this area is presented accordingly. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Saturniidae, Biogeography, Andes, area of endemism, speciation, distribution.

Saturniidae, Sphingidae, mothS, migration, launas, deforl!Sletion ABSTRACT Santa Rosa Nat ional Park is an arbitrarily defined 108 km 1 patch of dry fo rest in the northwestern Pacific coastal lowlands of Costa Rica. It has a saturniid moth fau na of 30 breeding species (and 5 waif species) and a sphingid moth fauna of 64 regularty breeding species, 10 occasional breeding species, and 9 waifs (83 species in total). There is one endemic saturniid and no endemic sph ingids. Furthermore, nearly all of the saturniids and sphingids of Santa Rosa have very broad geographic and ecological ranges. The saturniids are dormant during the six month dry season and all survive the dry season within the Park. More than half of the sphingids migrate out of the Park during the dry season or even the second ha lf of the rainy season. This migration is an integral part of Santa Rosa's interdependency with the rainforest parts of Costa Ri ca (and vi ce versa) . What determines the ceiling to the number of species of saturniids and sphingids in Santa Rosa? The Park is not isolated. There are no in· hos pitable barriers to potential colonizing species in the immediately adjacent rainforest (10·15 km to the east).
