Colombia is among the countries with the highest species richness, counting with a little more than 3 274 species, of which 350 are endemic (Campos-Salazar et al., 2011). Despite its high wealth, there are areas of the national territory such as the Atlantic Coast where information about the group is insufficient. In the last two decades, efforts have been made to know the richness and ecology of the species that inhabit the departments of Atlántico and Cesar (e.g. Campos-Salazar y Andrade-C., 2009; Boom-Urueta et al., 2013;                                                                    Vargas- Zapata                           et al., 2015), and recently Sucre and Bolívar (e.g. Mercado-Goméz et al., 2018; Ahumada-C. et al., 2019).  This study confirms the presence of three common species of diurnal butterflies for the Colombian Caribbean located in the Bolivar Municipality: Aides dysoni Godman, 1900, Calpodes ethlius (Stoll, 1782) (Hesperiidae), and Anteos clorinde (Godart, [1824]) (Pieridae). Also, important morphological characters for their recognition are provided, and their distribution in the Neotropic is complemented.  The specimens were captured with an insect net in samplings conducted in the Arjona jurisdiction (Bolívar Intropica 15 (1): en prensa   Daniela Ahumada-C. 1, Alejandro Segovia-Paccini  2, Candelaria Ortega-Echeverría  2,  M.

Key words:  Bolívar; Colombia; distribution; records; Hesperiidae; Pieridae ………………………. Palabras clave:  Bolívar; Colombia; Distribución; Registros; Hesperiida; Pieridae New distribution of three common diurnal butterflies from the Colombian Caribbean Enero – junio de 2020 municipality) in 2015, between 8:00 and 16:00 hours, with a sampling effort of 7h/day. . The species were identified from their comparison with photographs of type specimens from the illustrated list of American butterflies (Warren et al., 2017), and the works of Lewis et al. (1975), and Le Crom et al. (2004). Taxonomic identities were verified by examination of specimens stored in the reference collection of the Natural Sciences Institute (ICN) of the National University of Colombia.   The morphological description of the species follows the nomenclature proposed by Miller (1970), and the description of the colors of the wings follows the color chart of Rigdway (1912). The examined material is stored in the research laboratories of the Biology Program at the University of Cartagena (CUDC-INS).  Aides dysoni, Calpodes ethlius (Hesperiidae) and Anteos chlorinde (Pieridae) are registered for the Colombian Caribbean (figure 1). The lack of knowledge about these species in the region is probably due to the few explorations in their ecosystems and the shortage of specimens deposited in biological collections, which has made it difficult to update the lists of species, mainly in the departments of Bolívar and Sucre. The morphological characteristics for identification, and geographical distribution aspects of each species are presented below  Family Pieridae Anteos clorinde (Godart, [1824])  Examined material: 1♂1♀.

It is recorded for the Arjona locality, Bolívar department. Figure 1. New records of daytime butterflies for the Colombian Caribbean. A. Anteos clorinde (CUDC-INS 192), B.

Ventral dorsal wing similar to dorsal anterior wing. Ventral posterior wing similar to dorsal posterior wing.  Distribution: Southeast of the United States of America, West Indies, from Mexico to Argentina, and Galapagos Island (Warren et al., 2017). González y Andrade-C. (2008) record this species for the Colombian Andean region, without data on its collection location.  Tropical butterflies are one of the most spectacular and visually appealing organisms in the world. In the tropics evolved most of the butterfly diversity, and they play many vital roles in tropical ecosystems, with complex species interactions (e.g. mimicry, parasitism, predation), so they can have significantly influences on ecological and evolutionary processes in the tropics (Bonebrake et al., 2010). Also, many species have potential in environmental monitoring as indicators of habitat quality (Montero et al., 2009). This invaluable biological resource is threatened in the Colombia Caribbean region by the progressive intervention and destruction of natural habitats, transformation in agricultural and livestock areas, fragmentation, and climate change (Orozco et al., 2009).   The three species recorded here are common and with a broad geographical distribution in agro-ecosystems and conserved areas in the Colombia, and it is strange that they had not been reported previously in the Caribbean region. This confirm that Bolívar Department remain as one of the geographical areas of the Colombian Caribbean Region in which is necessary concentrate efforts to estimate populations sizes and species richness. Fundamental information to determine the health of the ecosystems, and to formulate plans for their conservation, management and sustainable use, in this case for butterflies and other tropical insects, and the services that they can provide (e.g. pollination).

Extension of geographical distribution of three common species of diurnal butterflies  (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) from the Colombian Caribbean

In this document we extend the geographical distribution for three common species of diurnal butterflies from the Colombian Caribbean region (Aides dysoni, Calpodes ethlius, and Anteos clorinde). The specimens were captured with an insect net in samplings conducted in the Arjona jurisdiction (BolivarDeparment) in 2015, between 8:00 and 16:00 hours.
