Colección de Mamíferos del Instituto Humboldt (IAvH-M)

The Mammal Collection of the Humboldt Institute is the third largest collection in the country and houses 9.471 specimens. These belong to 400 species, 212 genera, 51 families and 14 orders, from eight countries, Colombia the one with a higher representation (66,5% of species registered in the country). The best represented orders are Chiroptera, Rodentia, and Primates. The collection houses one neotype and two paratypes of Cebus albifrons albifrons, a paratype of Aotus hershkovitzi and a paratype of Vampyressa sinchi. The collection has been a benchmark for the study of the Colombian mammals and the Institute continues its effort to improve the curatorial status and the information associated to the specimens.La colección de mamíferos del Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt es la tercera colección de mayor número de especímenes en el país con 9.471 determinados en 400 especies, 212 géneros, 51 familias y 14 órdenes, procedentes de ocho países, siendo Colombia el de mayor representatividad (66,5% de la diversidad registrada para el país en este grupo). Los órdenes mejor representados son Chiroptera, Rodentia y Primates. Alberga un neotipo y dos paratipos de Cebus albifrons albifrons, un paratipo de Aotus hershkovitzi y un paratipo de Vampyressa sinchi.

Mariposas diurnas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) en la Reserva Forestal El Romeral, Cordillera Central, Antioquia, Colombia

We present a public database at SIB Colombia, the product of several studies about the diversity and complementarity of a butterfly community (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) in the El Romeral reserve, a protected area located southwest of the Aburrá Valley on the Central Cordillera in the department of Antioquia, Colombia. We report 69 species, 40 genera, 12 subfamilies and 5 families of butterflies in high Andean ecosystems, between 2250 and 2878 m a.s.l., including unique records and endemic species. The information is associated with specimens and barcode sequences in GenBank.Presentamos una base de datos pública en el SIB Colombia, producto de varios estudios sobre la diversidad y complementariedad de una comunidad de mariposas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) en la reserva El Romeral, un área protegida ubicada al suroeste del Valle de Aburrá, sobre la cordillera Central en el departamento de Antioquia, Colombia. Se reporta la presencia de 69 especies, 40 géneros, 12 subfamilias y 5 familias de mariposas diurnas en ecosistemas de bosque de niebla, entre los 2250 y 2878 m s.n.m, incluyendo registros únicos y especies endémicas.

IAvH-A (INDERENA)-1577 (Fig. 1) and IAvH-A(INDERENA)-1579 (Fig. 2). IAvH-A-1577. Female. Colombia, Amazonas, cabeceras río Igará-Paraná (headwaters of Igará-Paraná River); J. Morales, C. Chaparro. Original collector number JEMS-A-458 (field No.12). 28 August 1977. Remarks: In the physical catalog and original label the specimen has additional geographical, collector and morphological information. The complete locality is: Colombia, Amazonas, Puerto Príncipe, cabecera del rio Igará-Paraná (headwaters of the Igará-Paraná River), and original collectors include J.E. Morales-S., C. E. Chaparro-R. and A. Samper (Jorge Enrique Morales-Sánchez; Carlos Eduardo Chaparro-Rodríguez; Alejandro Samper-Nieto). The specimen was taken as part of the project “Proyecto Amazonia Radargramétrico: PRORADAM”. Weight: 120 g; total length: 270 mm; wingspan: 410 mm; iris: yellow-orange, mandible: black, maxilla: black, feet-tarsus: purple, intestinal length: 340 mm. Active at 12 am.

Colombia, Amazonas, cabeceras río Igará- Paraná (headwaters of the Igará-Paraná river), en el noroccidente del Departamento; J. Morales, C. Chaparro. Original collector number JEMS-A-460 (field No.14). 28 August 1 977. Remarks: In the physical catalog and original label the specimen has additional geographical, collector and morphological information. The collection date differs, the correct date being 29 August 1977. The complete locality is: Colombia, Amazonas, Puerto Príncipe, cabecera del rio Igará-Paraná, and original collectors include J.E. Morales-S., C. E. Chaparro-R.A. and N. Samper (Jorge Enrique Morales-Sánchez; Carlos Eduardo Chaparro- Rodríguez; Alejandro Samper-Nieto). The specimen was taken as part of the project “Proyecto Amazonia Radargramétrico: PRORADAM”. Weight: 130 g; total length: 261 mm; wingspan: 420 mm; iris: orange, mandible: black, maxilla: black, feet-tarsus: purple, intestinal length: 550 mm. Active at 9 am. Images URL: http:// colecciones.humboldt.org.co/rec/imagenes/IAvH-A/IAvH-A-1579/ Remarks for both paratypes: Locality data does not include geographical coordinates. The locality Puerto Principe could not be found in gazetteers, but the same place is recorded for other biological specimens as Puerto Principe, house of Lorenzo Candre. The family Candre still lives in the river Igará-Paraná, north of the original house of Lorenzo Candre. The geographical coordinates of the new house are 1°38'28"S., 72°38'56"W., 150 m a.s.l., near the river mouth of “caño Jitusuñuy”. These coordinates correspond today to Departamento de Amazonas, Corregimiento Departamental de El Encanto, since it is south of the river course of the Igará-Paraná, south of the torrent “raudal” of La Chorrera, Cordillera section. The holotype is a female, ICN 22610 (Instituto de Ciencias Naturales of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, hereafter ICN), collected by Romero-Zambrano and Pablo Bernal (original number PB-5541), 14 March 1975.

Colombia, Nariño, Barbacoas, 5 km NW of Altaquer, at Rio Ñambí. Elevation 1400 m. Original collector Paul G. W. Salaman. No collector´s number. 25 August 1991. Remarks: The original locality published had no specific geographical coordinates for the specimen other than the general survey area at 1°18'N, 7°85'W at 1350 m a.s.l., but the original label had geographical information as 6 km NE road from Altaquer, near the rio Ñambi and coordinates 1°42'N., 78°55'W., 1300 m. Both geographical coordinates must be in error since the Rio Ñambi Reserve main cabin is located at 1°18'N., 78°05'W at 1300 m. The skin was prepared by Guillermo Cantillo, and the paratype specimen label includes morphological information different from the published measurements, which are weight 11g; exposed culmen 11.2 mm; bill depth at nostril 3.4 mm, wing chord 54 mm, tail 34.9 mm, and tarsus length 19 mm.
