GARCIA-PARIS, Mario; PAVON-GOZALO, Pilar; TORRES-COLIN, Rafael  and  ZALDIVAR-RIVERON, Alejandro. Rediscovery of Lytta corallifera (Coleoptera: Meloidae) in central Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2013, vol.84, n.2, pp.682-684. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.34127.

A population of Lytta corallifera Haag-Rutenberg, 1880 (Coleoptera: Meloidae), one of the less-studied and rarest species of its genus, was discovered near Charco Blanco, in the Guadalcázar Biological Preservation Area in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The rarity of L. corallifera and its apparent sensitivity to changes in its habitat make the above region an important location for the survival of the species.

Keywords : Coleoptera; Meloidae; Lytta; México; San Luis Potosí.
