Abstract
NOGUERA, Felipe A.. Biodiversity of Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) in Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2014, vol.85, suppl., pp.S290-S297. ISSN 2007-8706. https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.32966.
An analysis of the knowledge of the family Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from Mexico is presented. The data for the analysis were obtained from the literature where records of species from Mexico were published. The taxon number recorded until know is 1 621, including species and subspecies. Those taxa are grouped in 7 subfamilies, 80 tribes and 454 genera. The subfamilies with highest richness are Cerambycinae with 842 species and Lamiinae with 609. About genera and tribes, the highest values are recorded in Cerambycinae with 40 and 215 respectively, followed by Lamiinae with 25 and 177. The tribes with higher richness are Elaphidiiini with 198, Trachyderini with 177 and Acanthocinini with 137 species. The genera with more number of species are: Eburia Lacordaire with 44, Euderces LeConte with 36 and Phaea Newman with 34. The higher richness in the country has been recorded in the states of Veracruz, Oaxaca, Jalisco and Chiapas. The fauna recorded so far comprises 4.6% of the world fauna of this group, 48% of this fauna is endemic to the country and the data analyzed show that the country richness is even graeter.
