Abstract

FERNANDEZ-GARCIA, Jorge Alberto et al. New records of Scolytinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in temperate forests of Durango. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2023, vol.39, e3912582.  Epub Dec 01, 2023. ISSN 2448-8445.  https://doi.org/10.21829/azm.2023.3912582.

In previous studies carried out in Durango, 115 species of scolitins were reported, the majority in temperate forests, some studies have been carried out near the main roads, since the work published by Wood (1982) to date, only eight species have been added. This work was carried out for a period of one year from december 2019 to November 2020. Ecoiapar traps baited with ethanol were used. The highest specific richness that occurred was eight species in site four, while the lowest corresponded to site two with five species. On the other hand, the highest abundance was from site six with 119 captures, while Monarthrum tuberculatum was the most abundant species during the study. 13 new state records are reported Corthylus burgosi, C. nudus, Hylocurus femineus, Hylurgops longipennis, Monarthrum ca. scutellare, M. dentigerum, M. huachucae, M. tuberculatum, M. xalapensis, Pityophthorus ca. miniatus, P. cacuminatus, P. infulatus, P. virilis, P. granulatus, and one for Mexico Pityophtorus infulatus. The results represent an increase of 12.17% of the known diversity for the state of Durango, compared to the 115 species previously registered, which amounts to a total of 129 species for the state.
