We report 118 confirmed phyllostomid species for Colombia, and 14 species po¬ tentially present in the country, for a total of 132 species representing 40 genera and 10 subfamilies. All known phyllostomid subfamilies are represented in Colombia, with the exception of the subfamily Macrotinae (not present in South America). At 118 known species, Colombia has the greatest number of phyllostomid bats of any country. Included in the lists are 27 recently recognized species (19 newly described species and eight newly elevated species ), 19 of which are confirmed for Colombia, while eight are potentially present. The checklist is accompanied by 18 taxonomic comments explain¬ ing recent changes in the taxonomy of the group. In addition. Geographic Information Systems (GlS)-based models of potential distribution were created for both confirmed and potentially present phyllostomid species, and species richness patterns were ana¬ lyzed. Finally, comments on the biogeography of the group are included.

Introduction: Genetic data hypothetically place the origin of the most recent common ancestor of the subfamily Emballonurinae in Africa, suggesting a dispersal event from Africa to South America during the Oligocene (30 Ma), and a subsequent allopatric radiation in the New World. Emballonurid genera exist in Central America where, to date, only one event of diversification has been documented for Balantiopteryx before the completion of the Isthmus of Panama land connection in the Pliocene. Methods: Emballonurid bats constitutes an important element of the bat fauna in Colombia. Herein, museum voucher specimens were used as primary source to generate a checklist of emballonurid bats from Colombia. In addition, selected museum voucher specimens were analyzed to verify their identifications. The checklist is accompanied by references as well as models of potential distribution for each Colombian emballonurid species. These distribution maps were used to investigate the affinities, in species composition, among Colombian ecoregions as outlined by Hernández-Camacho et al. (1992), and to determine emballonurid richness distribution in Colombia and the relationship between environmental variables and patterns of species richness in this group of bats in the country. Results: We report 16 confirmed emballonurid bat species for Colombia and three species potentially present in the country, for a total of 19 species representing the eight recognized Neotropical emballonurid genera. At 16 known species, Colombia has the second greatest number of Neotropical emballonurid bats after Brazil (17 spp.). Discussion and conclusion: The checklist presented herein is accompanied by 11 taxonomic and distributional comments explaining recent changes in taxonomy, species distribution rearrangements, as well as clarifications and a refinement of the previous records for Colombia. In addition, Geographic Information System (GIS) models of potential distribution were created for all confirmed species in Colombia, and species richness patterns were analyzed. Finally, in a Parsimony Analysis of Endemism was performed for Colombian emballonurids we found that diversity within this group of bats in geographically subdivided in Colombia into four main regions including: The Biogeographic Chocó; the Magdalena Valley; The Orinoquia; and the Guianan-Amazon region.

Se determinó la diversidad de mariposas diurnas asociadas a tres hábitats con diferentes grados de conservación en el corregimiento de Pacurita, Quibdó, Chocó, Colombia. Para la captura de mariposas durante 38 días de muestreos entre los meses de julio y diciembre del 2016, se empleó una red entomológica y seis trampas Van Someren-Rydon cebadas con pescado en descomposición y frutas fermentadas. Se capturaron 284 individuos de 44 especies pertenecientes a las familias Nymphalidae (S=38) Papilionidae (S=3), Pieridae (S=1) y Riodinidae (S=2). Según el tipo de hábitats, las especies más abundantes fueron Pierella luna lesbia y Heliconius erato venus en el hábitat de bosque conservado; Pierella luna lesbia, Heliconius erato venus y Colobura dirce en el bosque secundario, y Anartia jatrophae, Heliconius erato venus y Anartia amathea en el hábitat de intervención permanente. En los hábitats de bosque conservado y bosque secundario se registró un 62 % de similitud en cuanto a la composición y la estructura de las especies de mariposas, lo cual no ocurrió en el hábitat de intervención permanente. De las 44 especies reportadas en este estudio, 25 constituyen nuevos registros para la localidad de Pacurita, siendo la familia Nymphalidae la predominante. Las especies P. luna lesbia, A. jatrophae, H. erato venus, A. demophon muson y S. magdalena cleove fueron las mejor representadas, aunque con cambios en su abundancia según el tipo de hábitat. © 2018.
