The Canary Islands is a Macaronesian volcanic archipelago with a depauperate community of three species of Kalotermitidae, including Kalotermes dispar. A total of 54 Kalotermes colonies were collected from Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro islands. Soldiers and imagos were morphologically examined and sequenced for four mit...
Por vez primera se presenta al mundo científico y a todas las personas con inquietudes hacia el conocimiento de la valiosa biodiversidad insular los ciclos de vida completos de los Ropalóceros de Canarias, nuestras queridas mariposas diurnas, con una puesta en valor de su clasificación taxonómica y un tratamiento pormenorizado de los detalles morfo...
We provide 25 first insular distribution records of insects (19 dipterans and 6 hymenopterans) from the islands of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro (Canary Islands, Spain). Worthy of note are first records of single island endemic species such as Nemotelus insularis and records of exotic species such as Copestylum melleum...
Scientific note on new insect records in the Canary Islands (Blattodea, Coleoptera and Hemiptera)
Se aportan datos puntuales sobre la biología y distribución de 33 especies de lepidópteros de las familias Choreutidae, Cosmopterigidae, Crambidae, Erebidae, Geometridae, Gracillaridae, Meessiidae, Noctuidae, Plutellidae, Pterophoridae, Pyralidae, Scythrididae y Sphingidae que se citan por primera vez para algunas de las islas del archipiélago cana...
In this study, the presence, distribution, and chorology of more than 3,000 individuals belonging 38 families and 173 species of Heteroptera from the Canary Islands has been revised. Specimens of the suborder Heteroptera were collected from the different islands and an updated checklist of the species occurring in the archipelago is presented. Thre...
A commented checklist of the tachinid species inhabiting the Canary Islands (Spain) is provided, with special emphasis on hosts species and floral resources. Nine new local records are provided and Cylindromyia rufipes is reported for the first time for the Canary Islands, thus increasing the species number to 52. Zoogeographic analysis of the area...
Reticulitermes flavipes, one of the most harmful subterranean termite pests, is reported for the first time from Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). Cytochrome oxidase II was sequenced from five specimens in order to confirm the identification. To date, this invasive species has been detected in a limited area in the northeast of the island, affectin...
During a survey of spiders in the protected area of Montaña de La Breña (La Palma, Canary Islands), a total of 54 species from 24 families were recorded. Porrhoclubiona minor, Leptodrassus albidus, Macarophaeus varius, Silhouettella loricatula and Ballus chalybeius are reported for the first time for La Palma.
La presencia de Reticulitermes flavipes, una de las plagas de termitas subterráneas más dañinas del mundo, se ha constatado por primera vez en Tenerife (Islas Canarias, España). Hasta la fecha, esta especie invasora ha sido detectada en un área limitada en el noreste de la isla, afectando edificios, cultivos y especies nativas. Otra colonia encontr...
In the present work we study the malacological fauna found in lava tubes from La Palma (Canary Islands). We also present several observations on the biology, ecology and distribution on the island of some of the studied species.
New data on the distribution and biology of Denticera divisella (Duponchel, 1842), new record for Canary Islands. Pyralidae used in the biological control of different Euphorbiaceae.
Punctual data about the biology and distribution of 17 species of Lepidoptera of the families Gelechiidae, Oecophoridae, Geometridae, Gracillariidae, Erebidae, Noctuidae, Lycaenidae, Crambidae, Pyralidae and Choreutidae are provided, recording them for the first time in La Palma (Canary Islands).
New data on the distribution and biology of 40 species of Coleoptera from the Canary Islands are provided, four of which being new records for the archipelago.
Anew species of Curimopsis Ganglbauer, 1902 (Col., Byrrhidae) collected in Monte de La Breña (Breña Baja, La Palma, Canary Islands) is described. Some biological data are also provided.
