The multimillion-dollar avocado industry is threatened by a number of serious insect pests, including at least seven species Curculionidae. Of these, three Conotrachelus are known to develop and feed on avocados: aguacatae Barber, perseae Barber C. serpentinus (Klug); the first two economic importance. Recently, series unrecognised was intercepted with other commodities USDA various southern U.S. ports entry. most closely resembled native posticatus Boheman. Given threat posed certain...

Elmidae is one of the most diverse families aquatic beetles, with more than 1500 species in 148 genera. Cylloepus genus Americas, 52 and 2 subspecies currently known. The easily recognised by external morphology; body elongate, pronotum a longitudinal impression on disc elytra striate punctate. In this paper, based study several international reference collections, we propose two new combinations, describe (C. bispoi sp. nov. C. segurae nov.) from Ecuador Bolivia.

New methods in taxonomy and systematics can influence the overall practice of formally naming describing biodiversity. DNA barcoding has been controversial since its emergence, but now, large scale species descriptions exclusively based on barcodes have created what be called a 'new quality performance. Its limitations are discussed from different perspectives: nomenclature, general pragmatism, problems DNA-based delimitation light central aim achieving robust stable nomenclature organisms,...
