“…Entimini, Eudiagogini, Naupactini and Eustylini have been based on Neotropical genera and are highly diversified in this region, particularly in tropical and subtropical forests, although some derived lineages have colonized other areas and a few genera or species occur in the Nearctic [28,113].…”

The Entiminae are broad-nosed weevils constituting the most diverse subfamily of Curculionidae, with over 50 tribes. We performed Bayesian and Maximum Parsimony combined phylogenetic analyses with the main objective of testing higher-level relationships and the naturalness of the major Neotropical and Southern South American (Patagonia and Andes) tribes, including some members from other regions. We compiled a data matrix of 67 terminal units with 63 Entiminae species, as well as four outgroup taxa from Cyclominae, by 3522 molecular (from nuclear 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA, and mitochondrial 16S rDNA and COI gene sequences) and 70 morphological characters. The resulting trees recover a clade Entiminae with a monophyletic Cylydrorhinini and Premnotrypes branching off early. The tree resulting from parsimony analysis shows a clade of Leptopiini from the Australian region and another clade including taxa mainly distributed in the Palaearctic and Neotropical regions, but in the Bayesian tree the South American and Australian Leptopiini are grouped together. The mainly Palaearctic Entiminae (e.g., Brachyderini, Laparocerini, Otiorhynchini, Peritelini, Polydrusini, Phyllobiini and Sciaphylini) form a subclade separated from Southern Hemisphere taxa. Among the latter, the well-supported Naupactini are the sister group of the South American Tanymecini, excluding Platyaspistes, herein transferred to Leptopiini (new placement). Another well-justified clade is Eustylini–Geonemini, which also includes the enigmatic Galapagonotus, and the genus Artipus, thus corroborating its recent exclusion from Naupactini.

The Yungas, a subtropical mountain rainforest of South America, has been little studied in relation to the evolutionary history of the large‐bodied species of the genus Calomys. Particularly, two species have been synonymized: C. boliviae and C. fecundus; the first is only known from its type locality in the northern Bolivian Yungas, whereas the second is known along the Tucumane–Bolivian Yungas shared by Bolivia and Argentina. In this study, we combined a phylogeographic approach with ecological niche modeling, with samples covering most of the geographic range of C. fecundus. One mitochondrial and two nuclear genes were used for population genetic analyses. Current and paleoclimatic models were obtained. Nuclear genes resulted uninformative by retention of ancestral polymorphism with other species of Calomys. The mitochondrial marker revealed a complex network showing signals of several population expansions. Three genetic clusters in a latitudinal sense were detected, which are coincident with the three stable climatic zones estimated by current and paleoclimatic models. We determined a pattern of expansion during glacial cycles and ancestral refugia during interglacial cycles. None of the potential distribution models predicted the presence of C. fecundus in the type locality of C. boliviae. Therefore, we recommend making integrative taxonomic studies in the Bolivian Yungas, to determine whether or not C. fecundus and C. boliviae correspond to the same species.

“…Within these biomes, species diversity and endemism are high for some animal (Ronderos, ; Ronderos & Sánchez, ; Silva & Bates, ; Lanteri & del Río, ; Cigliano, ; Amorim et al ., ; Ramos & Melo, ; Nogueira et al ., ; Gamble et al ., ; del Río et al . ; Guarnizo et al ., ; Lanteri & del Río, ) and plant taxa (Oliveira & Marquis, ; Simon et al ., ; Prado et al ., ; Werneck et al ., ). This high species diversity is suggested to have been produced and maintained by a combination of geological processes during the Late Cretaceous through the Palaeogene, and fluctuations in climate and vegetation that characterized the Neogene subperiod (Werneck, ).…”

“…The Chaco and Cerrado are characterized by strong seasonality, although the Chaco has more severe summers and winter frosts (Prado, ; Pennington et al ., ; Werneck, ). Endemism in these South American open biomes is high, mostly in vascular plants (Oliveira & Marquis, ; Simon et al ., ; Prado et al ., ; Werneck et al ., ), amphibians, reptiles (Silva & Bates, ; Nogueira et al ., ; Gamble et al ., ; Guarnizo et al ., ) and insects (Lanteri & del Río, ; Amorim et al ., ; Ramos & Melo, ; del Río et al ., ; Lanteri & del Río, ) including grasshopper species (Ronderos, ; Ronderos & Sánchez, ; Cigliano, ). Even though it is currently considered that the biodiversity of these biomes is rich, they have received little research attention compared to other biomes of South America and thus are still poorly characterized in terms of biological and genetic diversity (Sarmiento, ; Pennington et al ., ; Werneck, ; Werneck et al ., ).…”

The open vegetation biomes, within the limits of the Chacoan subregion, occur along a diagonal in eastern South America covering a large range of environmental conditions. In order to contribute to the knowledge on the biodiversity of these open biomes, we analysed the phylogenetic relationships of the grasshopper genus Zoniopoda to the remaining South American Romaleinae, and examined the biogeographical patterns of diversification of the genus. The study is based on morphological and molecular (COI and H3) evidence, including 12 species of Zoniopoda and 17 species of four tribes of South American Romaleinae. We describe a new species of Zoniopoda, and test its taxonomic placement within the group. Results of our phylogenetic analyses recovered Zoniopoda as a monophyletic group with high support values. According to the dispersion-vicariance analysis, the ancestor of Zoniopoda may have been distributed in an area corresponding to the Chacoan and Cerrado provinces. A vicariant event, that could be explained by the uplift of the Brazilian Plateau and the subsidence of the Chaco, is hypothesized to have occurred splitting the ancestral distribution of Zoniopoda, resulting in the independent evolution of the Tarsata group within the Cerrado and the Iheringi group in the Chacoan subregion.This published work has been registered in ZooBank, http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid: zoobank.org:act:FCFB4C5D-1741-46F1-8E25-B37ED2B9D872.Correspondence: Martina E.
