ResumenHasta ahora no existían datos publicados disponibles sobre la presencia de tucanes en el estado Cojedes, Llanos Centro-Occidentales, Venezuela. En este trabajo recopilamos y actualizamos, para la zona de estudio, información bibliográfica e inédita sobre dos taxones: el pico de frasco esmeralda (Aulacorhynchus sulcatus sulcatus) y el tilingo acollarado (Pteroglossus torquatus nu chalis). Aulacorhynchus sulcatus ha sido encontrado en los bosques de galería del sur del estado, en localidades cercanas a los ríos Tinaco y Portuguesa, y P. torquatus está presente en los remanentes de selva nublada del norte del estado, y realiza movimientos puntuales a zonas más bajas.Palabras clave: tucanes, Llanos Centro-Occidentales.
AbstractUntil now there were no published data available about toucans at Cojedes State, Western-Central Llanos, Venezuela. We gathered and updated bibliographic and unpublished information about two taxa: the Groove-billed Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus sul catus sulcatus) and the Collared Araçari (Pteroglossus torquatus nuchalis). Aulacorhynchus sulcatus inhabits gallery forests in the southern part of the state, in localities near the Portuguesa and Tinaco rivers, and P. torquatus uses remnants of cloud forests in the northern part of the state, performing specific movements to lower areas.
