“…In general, the pattern of monthly variation of abundance and species richness was similar to the results reported by Luis and Llorente (1990), Luis et al (1991), Vargas et al (1994), Hernández-Mejía et al (2008), Luna et al (2008), Pozo et al (2008) and Luna et al (2010). From March to November, the greatest number of species and specimens was recorded, with lower values between December and February, the first months of the dry season.…”

“…In Mexico, several checklists of butterflies from altitudinal transects ranging from 600 to 3,100 m asl, including different vegetation types, have been published (Llorente et al 1986;Luis and Llorente 1990;Luis et al 1991;Vargas et al 1994Díaz-Batres et al 2001;Luna and Llorente 2004;Luna et al 2008;Luna et al 2010;Álvarez et al 2016). In addition, at a temporal level, the climatic factors influencing butterfly species turnover have been addressed in previous studies Llorente 1990, 1991;Vargas et al 1994;Hernández-Mejía et al 2008;Luna et al 2008;Pozo et al 2008;Luna et al 2010). However, little is known about the entomofauna and especially about the butterfly ecology of the extreme, humid and dry environments of northeastern Mexico, which is inhabited by a very special group that represents about 15% of national entomofauna, and harbors elements of the Atlantic District of the United States (Luz and Madero 2011).…”

Butterflies are one of the most recognized and useful groups for the monitoring and establishment of important conservation areas and management policies. In the present study, we estimate the richness and diversity, as well as the association value of submontane scrub, oak forest, and cloud forest species at Cerro Bufa El Diente, within the Sierra de San Carlos priority land region, located in the Central-western region of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Three sampling sites were established based on criteria of vegetation distribution per altitudinal floor. One site for each altitudinal floor and vegetation type. Sampling was carried out in permanent transects on a monthly basis at each site, using an aerial entomological net and ten Van Someren-Rydon traps, during four sampling periods: early dry season, late dry season, early wet season and late wet season. In total, 7,611 specimens belonging to six families, 20 subfamilies, 32 tribes, 148 genera and 243 species of the study area were collected. Nymphalidae was the most abundant family with 3,454 specimens, representing 45.38% of total abundance in the study area. Lower abundance was recorded in Hesperiidae (19.17%), Pieridae (16.41%), Lycaenidae (10.17%), Papilionidae (5.12%), and finally Riodinidae (3.74%). The highest species richness was presented in the family Hesperiidae with 34.57% of the total obtained species followed by Nymphalidae (30.45%), Lycaenidae (15.23%), Pieridae (9.88%), Papilionidae (5.76%), and Riodinidae (4.12%). Twenty-seven species were categorized as abundant, these species, Anaea aidea (Guérin-Méneville, 1844), Libytheana carinenta larvata (Strecker, 1878), Pyrgus oileus (Linnaeus, 1767), Mestra amymone (Ménétriés, 1857) and Phoebis agarithe agarithe (Boisduval, 1836) presented the highest number of specimens. Sixty-five species were considered common, constituting 41.73% of the total number of butterflies, 63 frequent (9.76% of the total abundance), 55 limited (2.54%) and 33 rare (0.43%). The greatest number of specimens and species, as well as alpha diversity, were presented on the lowest altitudinal floor, made up of submontane scrub, and decreased significantly with increasing altitude. According to the cluster analysis, low and intermediate altitude sites constitute an area of distribution of species that prefer tropical conditions, while the third-floor site forms an independent group of high mountain species. The greatest abundance and richness of species, as well as alpha diversity, was obtained during the last wet season, decreasing significantly towards the early dry season. Moreover, through the use of the association value, 19 species were designated as indicators, three for the last altitudinal floor, three for the intermediate and 13 for the first. The present work represents the first report of the altitudinal variation in richness, abundance and diversity of butterflies in the northeast of Mexico. These results highlight the importance of the conservation of this heterogeneous habitat and establish reference data for the diurnal Lepidoptera fauna of the region.

“…These processes are as complex as the geological and climatic history of the Balsas depression. Geological activity has been suggested to have similarly affect on other endemic species, including spiders, butterflies, birds, amphibians, and reptiles, especially in a sector of the Amacuzac sub‐basin (Escalante‐Pliego, Navarro, & Peterson, ; Luna‐Reyes, Llorente‐Bousquets, & Luis‐Martínez, ; Nieto‐Castañeda, Pérez‐Miguel, & García‐Cano, ). Also, the Balsas depression is located between the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Sierra Madre del Sur (Castañeda‐Rico, León‐Paniagua, Vázquez‐Domínguez, & Navarro‐Sigüenza, ; Ferrusquía‐Villafranca, ) which has been active from the Eocene and Oligocene to the present (Yarza de De la Torre, ), specifically the Guerrero and Morelos platforms, the Tierra Caliente metamorphic complex and Guerrero terrane, the Taxco fault and Arcelia graben, the Tenochtitlan fault system, and the Chapala–Oaxaca fault system (García‐Palomo et al., ; González‐Torres et al., ).…”

Taxonomy of the live-bearing fish of the genus Ilyodon Eigenmann, 1907 (Goodeidae), in Mexico, is controversial, with morphology and mitochondrial genetic analyses in disagreement about the number of valid species. The present study accumulated a comprehensive DNA sequences dataset of 98 individuals of all Ilyodon species and mitochondrial and nuclear loci to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the genus. Phylogenetic inference produced five clades, one with two subclades, and one clade including three recognized species. Genetic distances in mitochondrial genes (cytb: 0.5%-2.1%; coxI: 0.5%-1.1% and d-loop: 2.3%-10.2%) were relatively high among main clades, while, as expected, nuclear genes showed low variation (0.0%-0.2%), with geographic concordance and few shared haplotypes among river basins. High genetic structure was observed among clades and within basins. Our genetic analyses, applying the priority principle, suggest the recognition only of Ilyodon whitei and Ilyodon furcidens, with I. cortesae relegated to an invalid species, the populations of which belong to I. whitei.

“…Igualmente, las recolecciones de R. E. en sitios muy húmedos y bajos en distintas cañadas de Morelos (900-950 m snm) sumaron especies desconocidas para esta entidad. Los estudios más completos de áreas con selva baja caducifolia se deben a R. E. Maza (1975) y Luna-Reyes et al (2008; esta comunidad es la que incluye la mayor extensión en el estado de Morelos.…”

Resumen. Se conjuntó la información disponible para obtener una lista exhaustiva de los ropalóceros del estado de Morelos: 331 taxones de nivel específico pertenecientes a 154 géneros; 18 subfamilias y 5 familias, a partir de 29 981 ejemplares provenientes de las colecciones mexicanas y extranjeras de lepidópteros en la megabase MARIPOSA, la hemerobibliografía especializada y los inventarios faunísticos previos. Con base en estos datos se trazó un esbozo histórico de las recolecciones y recolectores, destacando lo realizado en Morelos desde el siglo XVI. Se compara su riqueza con la de estados contiguos y se advierte mayor similitud con la de Guerrero, con más del 90%. Se encontró que Cuernavaca es la localidad más diversa del estado, puesto que contiene más de la mitad de las especies; en 21 localidades está representado el 95% de los papilionoideos, que han sido satisfactoriamente recolectadas. Los municipios mejor estudiados son Tepoztlán, Tlaquiltenango y Huitzilac. Destaca el estado de Morelos por el alto porcentaje de taxones endémicos de México que presenta, esto es, un tercio del total para el país.
