Resumen. Se presenta una lista de 1331 taxones a nivel específico, pertenecientes a 462 géneros, 24 subfamilias, y seis familias de Papilionoidea (sensu lato) del estado de Oaxaca; que constituyen 68% de tales taxones registrados para México. Con esto se actualiza la lista de mariposas diurnas del estado con 165 registros nuevos a nivel específico, de los cuales 17 también son registros nuevos para este país. De las especies y subespecies oaxaqueñas, hasta ahora se han registrado 259 endémicas de México, que representan 19.45% del total en el estado y 57.5% de los endémicos que ocurren en el país. Estas cifras y porcentajes indican que Oaxaca es el estado con mayor riqueza y endemismo de México. La alta riqueza de Papilionoidea de Oaxaca y su endemismo, se debe principalmente a tres factores: 1. la asociación estrecha que existe entre las mariposas diurnas y el bosque tropical perennifolio; 2. el alto porcentaje de fauna endémica asociada a comunidades xéricas del noroeste del estado, los valles centrales, los bosques húmedos de montaña y la planicie costera del Pacífico, y 3. la ubicación del estado en la región Mesoamericana, que se caracteriza por su alta riqueza y proporción de endemismos, generados por su extensión geográfica y confluencia de muchas provincias biogeográficas.

Variación Morfológica y Distribución de Theope villai (Lepidoptera: Riodinidae)

Marysol Trujano-Ortega; Armando Luis-Martínez; Jorge Llorente-Bousquets

Resumen. El género Theope Doubleday es de los de mayor riqueza en la familia Riodinidae, hasta ahora con 73 taxones descritos. Varias especies son raras, por la densidad baja de sus poblaciones y hábitos poco comunes, resultando en una representación deficiente en las colecciones científicas. Como T. villai Beutelspacher, 1981, que es una especie endémica del occidente de México, descrita a partir de un solo ejemplar y de la que se desconocen aspectos de su biología; se distribuye en la parte media del occidente de México, en los bosques subperennifolio y mesófilo de montaña; en intervalos altitudinales bien acotados. Se describe la variación morfológica de los imagos, sus aspectos ecológicos (microhábitat, estacionalidad, tipo de vegetación), y de distribución (latitudinal y altitudinal) con base en 28 ejemplares. Se encontraron diferencias entre el holotipo y la descripción original, que habían pasado desapercibidas. Las autapomorfías en los machos de T. villai son los octavos tergito y esternito (saccus) modificados. Manifiesta dimorfismo sexual en tamaño, coloración, y diseño alar; los genitales de ambos sexos comparten características con otras especies del género. Esta información contribuirá a entender mejor las relaciones interespecíficas. Debido a su rareza y a la presión ejercida por el uso del suelo en su hábitat, T. villai debería considerarse para su protección.

New records of bee flies (Diptera, Bombyliidae) from Cuatro Ciénegas, Coahuila, Mexico

Omar Ávalos-Hernández; Joel Kits; Marysol Trujano-Ortega; Uri Omar García-Vázquez; Zenón Cano-Santana

Abstract Forty one new records of species of Bombyliidae are reported for Coahuila in northeastern Mexico. Nine of these species are reported for the first time for the country. The specimens were collected in the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin and Sierra La Madera mountains during 2007–2013. The modified distributions of species are discussed. The gaps in the distribution of many species suggest an undersampling of this group of insects in the north of Mexico.

Abstract Two new genera of Riodinidae (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are described, Neoapodemia Trujano-Ortega, gen. n. (Neoapodemia nais (W. H. Edwards, 1876), comb. n., N. chisosensis Freeman, 1964, comb. n.) and Plesioarida Trujano-Ortega & García-Vázquez, gen. n. (Plesioarida palmerii palmerii (W. H. Edwards, 1870), comb. n., P. palmerii arizona (Austin, [1989]), comb. n., P. palmerii australis (Austin, [1989]), comb. n., P. hepburni hepburni (Godman & Salvin, 1886), comb. n., P. hepburni remota (Austin, 1991), comb. n., P. murphyi (Austin, [1989]), comb. n., P. hypoglauca hypoglauca (Godman & Salvin, 1878), comb. n., P. hypoglauca wellingi (Ferris, 1985), comb. n., P. walkeri (Godman & Salvin, 1886), comb. n., P. selvatica (De la Maza & De la Maza, 2017), comb. n.). Neoapodemia Trujano-Ortega, gen. n. is distributed in the southwestern USA and northeastern Mexico, while Plesioarida Trujano-Ortega & García-Vázquez, gen. n. is present from the southern USA to Central America. Species of these genera were previously classified as Apodemia C. Felder & R. Felder but molecular and morphological evidence separate them as new taxa. Morphological diagnoses and descriptions are provided for both new genera, including the main distinctive characters from labial palpi, prothoracic legs, wing venation and genitalia, as well as life history traits. A molecular phylogeny of one mitochondrial gene (COI) and two nuclear genes (EF-1a and wg) are also presented of most species of Apodemia, Neoapodemia Trujano-Ortega, gen. n., Plesioarida Trujano-Ortega & García-Vázquez, gen. n., and sequences of specimens from all tribes of Riodinidae. We compare the characters of Apodemia, Neoapodemia Trujano-Ortega, gen. n. and Plesioarida Trujano-Ortega & García-Vázquez, gen. n. and discuss the differences that support the description of these new taxa. This is a contribution to the taxonomy of the Riodinidae of North America of which the generic diversity is greater than previously recognized.

A New Species of Gerrhonotus (Squamata: Anguidae) from the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin, Coahuila, Mexico

Uri Omar García-Vázquez; Arturo Contreras-Arquieta; Marysol Trujano-Ortega; Adrián Nieto-Montes de Oca

Abstract A new species of Gerrhonotus, previously confused with G. infernalis, is described from the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin, Coahuila, Mexico. The new species is known from the type locality only and is characterized by the following combination of characters: a cantholoreal scale usually present, a dark mark extending anteriorly from the lower temporal scales through the lower border of the orbit to the preocular or cantholoreal scales, keeled dorsal scales, dorsal body pattern usually composed of cross-bands mostly interrupted or barely discernible on middorsum, usually indiscernible vertical dark bars on the lateral fold (few, faint bars occasionally present), and black flecks scattered on the venter. The new species is geographically closest to G. lugoi and G. infernalis but morphologically most similar to G. infernalis.

Diversity and Resource Use Patterns of Anthophile Insects in Cuatro Ciénegas, Coahuila, Mexico

Omar Ávalos-Hernández; Zenón Cano-Santana; Marysol Trujano-Ortega; Uri Omar García-Vázquez

Abstract Bees and flies are the main pollinators responsible for the maintenance of plant diversity and crop production. Studies of pollinator communities have focused on bees; however, community structures may vary among groups of pollinators. We describe and compare the diversity and resource use patterns of six Apoidea and two Diptera anthophile families in Cuatro Ciénegas in the northeast of Mexico. We sampled insects in two distinct geographic units (valley and mountains) and two seasons (rainy and dry). Spatial and temporal patterns in species composition and abundance of these families were identified and the diversity in each family compared. The spatial and temporal patterns in species composition, diversity, and resource use were different for each family. Overall, diversity was higher during the rainy season. Only fly families and the Andrenidae presented season-specific differences in species composition, in contrast with the other Apoidea. Two bee families visited more plant species per insect species during the rainy season, whereas flies visited the same number of plant species in both seasons. Apidae, Megachilidae, and Bombyliidae visited more plant species in the mountains, while the other families exhibited no differences between the mountains and the valley. The variation in the community structures of each group may reflect distinct life histories, resources needs during larval stages, and foraging behaviors. These differences are relevant in management and conservation programs that could benefit one group of pollinators while harming others with different characteristics. The traits of some families indicate their potential value as pollinators.
