Checklist of colombian cockroaches (Dictyoptera, Blattaria)

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge about Blattaria for Colombia. Generalities on the suborder are presented and the species present in Colombia are catalogued. This study was made based on the literature and analysis of the various Colombian collections. The species listing obtained is made up of four families with 15 subfamilies, 62 genera and 133 species that account for 3.1% of the 4,330 species recognized worldwide. Moreover, an altitudinal range is given as well as distribution data for Colombiaâs biogeographical regions and departments. Some notes are made on the distribution for each region and on collection methods.En este trabajo se revisa el estado actual del conocimiento de Blattaria para Colombia. Se presentan generalidades sobre el suborden y se catalogan las especies presentes en Colombia. Este estudio se hizo con base a la literatura y revisión de ejemplares de diferentes colecciones colombianas. El listado de especies que se obtuvo está conformado por cuatro familias con 15 subfamilias, 62 géneros y 133 especies que representan el 3.1 % de las 4,330 especies reconocidas a nivel mundial. Además se da el rango altitudinal y datos de distribución por las regiones biogeográficas y departamentos de Colombia. Se hacen algunas anotaciones sobre la distribución en cada región y sobre los métodos de colecta

Los helechos y licófitos de la región del Guavio

A taxonomic list of Ferns and Lycophytes of the Guavio region in Cundinamarca, Colombia is presented. This region is located to the east of the Cundinamarca district and covers an area of 366,556 hectares. Guavio region consists of ten counties and ranges from 400 m to 3875 m in altitude. We found 278 species grouped into 78 genera and 26 families. The most diverse genera are Elaphoglossum (29 spp) and Thelypteris (20 spp). Ferns and Lycophytes are widely distributed over a range of altitudes in the region, however the highest concentration of species and genera are located between 2000 m - 2500 m. The counties containing the largest number of species are Gachetá (114 spp), Guasca (107 spp.) and Ubalá (105 spp.)

Lista de los géneros de moluscos terrestres de Colombia (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Prosobranchia: Mesogastropoda y Pulmonata: Stylommatophora)

The Colombian terrestrial mollusks are poorly known because most of the studies were focus on marine and freshwater mollusks, as a product of that there are actually some taxonomic inventories for those. A list to record the genus of Colombian terrestrial mollusks was create after intensive collection reviews using Internet and also using specialized bibliography. 80 genus were record distributed in 25 departaments of the country. The checklist is presented including the valid scientific names and their synonymies, also the classification systems that were use and the localities where were genera registry. That work was done under the support of the ABC grants funded by the Alexandre von Humboldt Institute. This list and its additional information was done using Authority Taxonomy Files (AAT for the word in Spanish), an application developed by the biodiversity information system of Colombia (SiB), coordinated also by the Alexander von Humboldt Institute

Lista de chequeo de las familias Galatheidae y Chirostylidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) del Neotrópico

Galatheidae and Chirostylidae are two of the most diverse and abundant families of decapod crustaceans, besides penaeid shrimps. These families contain 869 species around the world and live from shallow waters (less common), marine bottoms on continental slopes (more common), to hydrothermal vents and abyssal plains at 5000 m depth. Eleven genera and 161 species from the Neotropic, and eight genera and 43 species from Colombian waters have been recorded. Currently we have few taxonomic and systematic studies on these groups in spite of their ecological importance due the species richness and abundance. The main goal of this paper is to compile the most important bibliographic information from galatheids and chyrostilids from the neotropical region, including local and regional data, synonymies and current information. This compilation was made from papers and other regional publications and also with the material revision from several international museums, including the Museo de Historia Natural Marina de Colombia. Results show that the majority of species from Neotropic waters (67 species) are distributed in Florida, Central America, Caribbean insular territories and Colombia; 20 species are Neotropical-wide, 12 are restricted to insular territories and three to Central America. The remaining 46 species show a discontinuous distribution throughout the area
