The tropical dry forest is under constant threat from many anthropic activities which are conducted indiscriminately, modifying the forest, and therefore, affecting species that are closely related to its phenology, such as longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae). The spatio-temporal variation of the cerambycid diversity in two fragments of tropical dry...

We report new records of eight species of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Colombia originated from recent field trips and from museum specimens: Amblygnathus suturalis Putzeys, 1845 (Atlántico), Bembidion chimborazonum Bates, 1891 (Valle del Cauca), Homopterus subcordatus Darlington, 1950 (Caquetá), Hyboptera auxiliadora Erwin, 2004 (Bo...
El fuego como herramienta de preparación del suelo para actividades agropecuarias es una práctica comúnmente usada por los campesinos. Sin embargo, ésta puede causar incendios forestales de grandes repercusiones sobre la fauna y flora. Por esta razón, este trabajo evaluó la respuesta de la comunidad de escarabajos coprófagos a la modificación del h...

Psapharochrus auratus sp. nov., from Colombia, is described and illustrated. A new combination, Psapharochrus penrosei (Thomson, 1864) is proposed. The geographical distribution of seven species of Lamiinae is expanded to include them in the Colombian fauna, and eight new department records from Colombia are reported. Moreover, taxonomic notes in L...

Martinez-G & Villarreal is described and illustrated from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Magdalena department. The exclusive morphology of the short and apically truncated retrolateral tibi...
The genus Platymessa Mello-Leitão, 1941 is represented by two species in the Andes of Colombia: P. h-inscriptum Mello-Leitão, 1941 and P. ectroxantha Mello-Leitão, 1941. Platymessa victoriae Pinzón-M. & Townsend, sp. n. is described on the basis of somatic morphological characters and the structure of the penis. The placement of this new species in...
The temporal variation in abundance and some population aspects of sympatric spider species of genus Micrathena in a dry tropical forest fragment in northern Colombia between November 2012 and August 2013 were analyzed. A linear transects of 500 m length and 20 m wide were delimitated, where 10 points were installed spaced 50 m. In each point, spid...
The temporary variation of the composition and structure of arachnofauna in the Reserva Campesina La Montaña (RCM), department of Atlántico, Colombia was analyzed. Ten samples were taken between November 2012 and August 2013 in order to cover the dry and rainy seasons. A 500 m long, 20 m wide linear transect was delimited, where 10 sampling points...
p>Se analizó la variación espacio-temporal de la abundancia de las mariposas de la subfamilia Biblidinae (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) en un fragmento de Bs-T en la Reserva Campesina La Montaña (RCM), Atlántico, Colombia; desde enero hasta agosto de 2011. Se marcaron cuatro puntos dentro del área de estudio, donde se ubicaron trampas Van Someren–Rydon...
Se realizó un inventario de las especies fitófagas de la familia Scarabaeidae para el departamento del Atlántico, con el fin deactualizar la distribución de estos insectos en uno de los departamentos menos estudiados del país. Se realizaron recolectas en cinco fragmentos (Reserva Campesina La Montaña, RCM; Reserva Bijibana, RB; Corrales de San Luis...
The variation of the composition and spatial distribution of mantids was analyzed in six Dry Tropical Forest fragments from the Department of Atlántico.
