Two new species of the genus Nemognathomimus Chemsak & Linsley are described and illustrated, wappesi sp. nov. from Mexican states Chiapas Oaxaca Guatemala, N. angelicae state Hidalgo. A key to separate is included.
A new species of the genus Sympleurotis Bates from Jalisco, Mexico is described and illustrated. Details a state record rudis Bates, 1881 Chiapas, also included.
Since the description of its eight species, Mesoamerican genus Phrynidius Lacordaire (Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Apomecynini) has not been comprehensively studied, with only a few distributional records published in recent years. In this work, four new species are described from Chiapas, Mexico: P. cristinaesp. nov. municipality Escuintla, diminutussp. San Cristobal, jonesisp. Trinitaria, and tuberculatussp. Jaltenango. An updated taxonomic key illustrations also provided.
Abstract Global biodiversity gradients are generally expected to reflect greater species replacement closer the equator. However, empirical validation of global largely relies on vertebrates, plants, and other less diverse taxa. Here we assess temporal spatial dynamics arthropod using a beta-diversity framework. Sampling includes 129 sampling sites whereby malaise traps deployed monitor changes in communities. Overall, encountered more than 150,000 unique barcode index numbers (BINs) (i.e....
Abstract Tetraopes longhorn beetles are known for their resistance to milkweed plant toxins and coevolutionary dynamics with plants ( Asclepias ). This association is considered a textbook example of coevolution, in which each species specialized feed on one or few . A major challenge investigating hypotheses conducting molecular ecology studies lies the limited understanding evolutionary history biogeographical patterns By integrating genomic, morphological, paleontological, geographical...
