For the first time, we provide a checklist and bilingual key to genera of Scutelleridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Mexico, with new distribution records for state Oaxaca. The scutellerid fauna Mexico is comprised 35 species, two subspecies, 14 subfamilies, which seven species are endemic. best-represented genus in Symphylus eight species. states Veracruz Oaxaca have highest richness 17 15 respectively. correspond species: Camirus moestus (Stål), Orsilochides scurrilis Stethaulax marmorata...
Abstract Mesoamerican cultures have a rich tradition of utilizing native species as food sources, yet many remain under-researched. Insects are prime example. The Monte Albán region in southern Mexico, home to one Mesoamerica’s most significant archaeological sites, is also an area where small groups people continue the ancient practice collecting and consuming insects — likely pre-Hispanic legacy. This study documents collection consumption little-known insect species. Using DNA barcoding,...

Peucetia viridans (Hentz), commonly called the lynx spider, is an important predator with a diet that encompasses wide variety of insects and arachnids, including cannibalism. Although several studies address aspects related to its ecology behaviour have been carried out, there notable lack focused on recording prey hosts. This information gap particularly evident regarding interaction spider beetles belonging family Scarabaeidae. To contribute knowledge feeding habits host preferences P....
