P.O. Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 USA http://centerforsystematicentomology.org/ Insecta Mundi is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on any non- marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book reviews or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources, including the Zoological Record and CAB Abstracts. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Guidelines and requirements for the preparation of manuscripts are available on the Insecta Mundi website at http://centerforsystematicentomology.org/insectamundi/ Chief Editor: David Plotkin, [email protected] Assistant Editor: Paul E.

This work is the first attempt to integrate into one list and quantify all the known species of Guade- loupean insects. It includes all the species known to us to be reported for the island of Guadeloupe until the 31st of December 2019. A total of 3097 valid species are listed, of which the largest component is the beetles (1447 species). Preliminarily, 632 species (20%) are considered to be strictly endemic to Guadeloupe, and 250 species are recognized as adventive or introduced. The bibliography complements the taxonomic information and includes over 350 titles. Brief annotations are also given on the history of entomology in Guadeloupe. This list includes four new island records for Guadeloupe: Azeta rhodogaster Guenée, 1852 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Eudocima apta (Walker, 1857) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Urania leilus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae) and Micronotus quadriundulatus (Redtenbacher, 1892) (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae), all recently collected in Guadeloupe. Key words. Insecta, database, new island records. Résumé. Ce travail constitue une première tentative d’intégrer dans une même liste et de quantifier l’ensemble des espèces d’insectes actuellement connues en Guadeloupe. Il inclut l’ensemble des espèces répertoriées en Gua- deloupe jusqu’au 31 Décembre 2019. Une liste de 3097 espèces valides est donnée, dont la plus grande composante sont les Coléoptères (1447 espèces). Les espèces endémiques strictes de Guadeloupe, en l’état actuel de nos con- naissances, sont au nombre de 632 (20%) et 250 espèces sont reconnues comme introduites. Une bibliographie complète de plus de 350 entrées est également donnée, ainsi que de brèves informations sur le statut actuel des connaissances. La liste présentée comprend quatre nouvelles mentions pour la Guadeloupe; Azeta rhodogas- ter Guenée, 1852 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Eudocima apta (Walker, 1857) (Lepidoptera, Erebidae), Urania leilus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae) et Micronotus quadriundulatus (Redtenbacher, 1892) (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae), récemment capturés en Guadeloupe. Mots-clés. Insectes, base de données, nouvelles mentions. Introduction This work addresses the questions of “What and how much do we know about the diversity of insects in Guadeloupe?” Until now the answers to these questions were out of our reach, as the data on Guade- loupean species are mostly dispersed across hundreds of zoological publications. To our knowledge, the only previous publication dealing with the quantification of the known arthropod fauna of Guadeloupe was a short popular summary commenting on such efforts (Redaud 1996). In spite of being one of the larger faunas in the Lesser Antilles, Guadeloupean insects have only recently received significant attention from taxonomists. This checklist integrates, for the first time, updated knowledge on the insect fauna of this island. The publication of several earlier checklists provided an important starting point to attempt the compilation of a comprehensive list of the known Guadeloupean insects. 2 • INSECTA MUNDI 0786, August 2020 MEURGEY AND RAMAGE The various groups treated were the Coleoptera (Chalumeau 1983; Chalumeau and Touroult 2005; Peck et al. 2014), Ephemeroptera (Hofmann et al. 1999), Odonata (Meurgey and Picard 2011), Orthoptera (Perez-Gelabert 2001), Phasmatodea (Lelong and Langlois 2001), Thysanoptera, and Diptera (Etienne 2005; Etienne et al. 2003, 2015).
