“…We chose 228 species (see Appendix S1 in Supporting Information) belonging to 33 genera of Buprestidae; these species have been relatively well collected and studied in Mexico in comparison with the remaining buprestid taxa. We obtained distributional information on these species from published taxonomic revisions, notes and descriptions of new species (Dugès, 1891;Fisher, 1949;Nelson, 1962Nelson, , 1968Nelson, , 1971Nelson, , 1975aNelson, -c, 1980aNelson, ,b, 1986Nelson, , 1987Nelson, , 1988Nelson, , 1991Nelson, , 1993Nelson, , 1994Nelson, , 1999Nelson, , 2000aHespenheide, 1974Hespenheide, , 2002Nelson & Westcott, 1976Westcott et al, 1979Westcott et al, , 1989Nelson et al, 1981;Westcott, 1983Westcott, , 1990Westcott, , 1996Westcott, , 1998bWestcott, , 2000aBellamy, 1987Bellamy, , 1990Bellamy, , 1997Barr, 1992;Westcott & Noguera, 1993;Bellamy & Westcott, 1995, 2000Nelson & Bellamy, 1996, 2004Bellamy & Hespenheide, 2002;Davidson, 2003;MacRae & Nelson, 2003;Corona, 2004.…”

“…According to Hespenheide (1996), 62 genera and 800 species are known for Mexico, and there are three genera and about 50 species yet to be described. Considering further taxonomic changes and descriptions of new species, we estimate the existence of about 64 genera and 876 species (Bellamy & Westcott, 1996, 2000; Nelson & Bellamy, 1996, 2004; Westcott, 1996, 1998a,b, 2000a,b, 2005, 2007; Bellamy, 1997, 2003, 2005; Nelson, 1999, 2000a,b; Bellamy & Hespenheide, 2002; Hespenheide, 2002; Davidson, 2003; MacRae & Nelson, 2003; Corona, 2004, 2005; Westcott & Hespenheide, 2006; Westcott et al. , 2008).…”

Aim We analysed the geographical distributions of species of Buprestidae (Coleoptera) in Mexico by means of a panbiogeographical analysis, in order to identify their main distributional patterns and test the complex nature of the Mexican Transition Zone, located between the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. Location Mexico. Methods The geographical distributions of 228 species belonging to 33 genera of Buprestidae were analysed. Localities of the buprestid species were represented on maps and their individual tracks were drawn. Based on a comparison of the individual tracks, generalized tracks were detected and mapped. Nodes were identified as the areas where generalized tracks converged. Results Thirteen generalized tracks were obtained: one was restricted to the Mexican Transition Zone and five to the Neotropical region (Antillean and Mesoamerican dominions), a further two occurred in both the Nearctic region (Continental Nearctic dominion) and the Mexican Transition Zone, and a further five in both the Neotropical region (Mesoamerican dominion) and the Mexican Transition Zone. Seven nodes were identified at the intersections of the generalized tracks – in the Mesoamerican dominion (Mexican Pacific Coast, Mexican Gulf and Chiapas biogeographical provinces) and the Mexican Transition Zone (Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt, Balsas Basin and Sierra Madre Oriental biogeographical provinces). Main conclusions We conclude that the geographical distribution of Buprestidae is mainly Neotropical, corresponding to the Mesoamerican dominion and the Antillean dominion of the Neotropical region, and the Mexican Transition Zone. Most of the generalized tracks and nodes correspond to the Mexican Transition Zone, thus confirming its complex nature. We suggest that the nodes we have identified could be particularly important areas to choose for conservation prioritization.

“…Beetle specimens were deposited in the University of Morelos Insect Collection (‘Colección de Insectos de la Universidad de Morelos’ [CIUM]). The material was identified by taxonomic keys (Hespenheide, 2002; Hespenheide & Bellamy, 2009; Nelson, 1975), compared with reference material deposited in the CIUM and corroborated by specialists in the group (Dr. H. A. Hespenheide, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California).…”

1. Many insect communities have a higher proportion of rare species than predicted by community-structure models. Rarity has been associated with increased extinction risk, therefore, it is essential to understand which factors cause rarity patterns.2. The importance of three rarity hypotheses (under-sampling, diffusive rarity, and body size) in a Buprestidae community sampled with active and passive methods are tested in a tropical dry forest in central Mexico.3. In total, 222 species were recorded. Doubletons and duplicates decreased with the increase of sampled locations, while singletons and uniques increased. At the local level, 67% of the species were no longer rare when all collection methods were considered (n = 60 species), as well as 41% at the regional level (n = 41 species).The diffusive rarity hypothesis was tested in 97 species that appeared in more than two localities; 38% of the species changed their abundance status between localities. The body size hypothesis was tested considering 179 species, and rare species were smaller only in the species of the genus Chrysobothris.4. More than one rarity hypothesis operated simultaneously in a community, but their contribution was different. In the Buprestidae community studied, the undersampling hypothesis had the greatest support, affecting a higher proportion of species. Subsequently, the second most important was the diffusive rarity hypothesis, and the least support showed the body size hypothesis, as the size was determined mainly by the taxonomic genus.

Além dissoHespenheide (2002), aponta que diversas espécies de Paragrilus foram descritas e incluídas erroneamente dentro da tribo Tracheini, provavelmente devido às semelhanças externas.Figuras 263-268.

Primeiramente agradeço à minha família, meu pai e minha mãe por sempre me apoiarem, um agradecimento mais que especial para minha irmã gêmea Serena, pelo companheirismo, força, amizade, por coletar os buprestídeos comigo. Ao programa do Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, por todo suporte no desenvolvimento da tese. À minha orientadora Drª Sônia Casari, pela infraestrutura, pelo suporte, pelo ambiente acolhedor, os cafés e as comidinhas que tornaram esta jornada ainda mais agradável. Agradeço ao
