Abstract

The diversity of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) of the Tropical Dry Forest of the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve (RBCC) in the state of Jalisco and the Sierra de Huautla Biosphere Reserve (REBIOSH) in Morelos, Mexico was analyzed using Malaise traps. Monthly sampling was carried out for one year in each study area. Fifteen individuals representing seven species were collected at the RBCC; these include Azya orbigera Mulsant, Diomus sp. 1, Diomus debilis (LeConte), Scymnobius flavifrons (Melsheimer), Zagloba beaumonti Casey, Scymnus (Pullus) dozieri Gordon, and Stethorus caseyi Gordon and Chapin. The estimated richness for the RBCC was 12 species, and the true diversity was 5.65 effective species. All of the species recorded for the RBCC represent new records for the state of Jalisco as well. For the REBIOSH, 28 specimens representing two species were collected. These included 27 individuals of Brachiacantha bistripustulata (Fabricius) and a single individual of Epilachna tredecimnotata (Latreille), both of which represent new records for the state of Morelos. The true diversity was 1.16 effective species. This work is the first to characterize the diversity of Coccinellidae in the Tropical Dry Forest of Mexico.

Se analizó la diversidad de Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) del Bosque Tropical Caducifolio de la Reserva de la Biosfera Chamela-Cuixmala (RBCC) en el estado de Jalisco y de la Reserva de la Biosfera de la Sierra de Huautla (REBIOSH) en Morelos, México, utilizando trampas Malaise. Se realizaron muestreos mensuales durante un año en cada área de estudio. En la RBCC se recolectaron 15 individuos que representaron siete especies, entre ellas Azya orbigera Mulsant, Diomus sp. 1, Diomus debilis (LeConte), Scymnobius flavifrons (Melsheimer), Zagloba beaumonti Casey, Scymnus (Pullus) dozieri Gordon y Stethorus caseyi Gordon y Chapin. La riqueza estimada para la RBCC fue de 12 especies, y la diversidad real fue de 5.65 especies efectivas. Todas las especies registradas para la RBCC representan nuevos registros para el estado de Jalisco. Para la REBIOSH se recolectaron 28 ejemplares que representan dos especies. Estas incluyeron 27 individuos de Brachiacantha bistripustulata (Fabricius) y un solo individuo de Epilachna tredecimnotata (Latreille), las cuales representan nuevos registros para el estado de Morelos. La diversidad real fue de 1.16 especies efectivas. Este trabajo es el primero en caracterizar la diversidad de Coccinellidae en el Bosque Tropical Caducifolio de México.
