- Escarabajos (Scarabaeidae: Pleurosticti) de la selva baja del bosque pluvial tropical "BP-T", Chocó, Colombia Jhon César Neita M Jesús Orozco A Brett Ratcliffe Biología Choco Scarabs Habitats Colombia Phenology The knowledge of the diversity of scarabs in Colombia in some areas is still very little studied, in orderto extend this information the fauna of Scarabaeidae (Pleurosticti) of the lowlands of the tropical rainforest of the Choco-Biogeografico zone was characterized, during the years 2001-2003. Five samplingsites with different composition and degrees of intervention were selected (primary forest, secondaryforest, high stubble and agroforestal parcels), corresponding to the municipalities of Itsmina, Lloró, Quibdó, Neita et al.: Escarabajos de la selva baja del Chocó, Colombia Tado and Union Panamericana, located between the 43 and 150 meters. The capture of the scarabswas made manually and with the use of nets, black light and modified coke-traps, rotten trunk ofBrosimum utile H.B.K, Lecythis ampla Miers, Pouteria caimito Radlk, Apeiba aspera Aubl., Inga spp.,Cedrela odorata L. and Jacaranda hesperi Dugand among others were explored. A total of 17,840specimens in 65 species, distributed in 4 subfamilies, 12 tribes and 38 genera were collected.Pelidnota chiriquina Bates, Spodochlamys cupreola Bates, Gymnetis pardalis (G & P), Gymnetisvandepolli (Bates), Hoplopyga ocellata (G & P) and Guatemalica hueti (Chevrolat) are record forColombia for the first time. The richest subfamily in number of species was Dynastinae with 26species, followed of Rutelinae with 25, Cetoniinae with 11 and Melolonthinae with 3 species. Therichest genera were: Cyclocephala Dejean, 1821: C. amazona (Linné), C. carbonaria Arrow, C.melanocephala (Fabricius), C. pardolocarnoi Dechambe y C. fulgurata Burmeister; AnomalaSamouelle, 1819: Anomala cincta Say, A. medellina Ohaus, A. undulata Melsheimer; GymnetisMacLeay, 1819: Gymnetis coturnix (Burmeister), G. stellata (Latreille), G. holosericea (Voet) andRutela Latreille, 1802: Rutela heraldica Perty, R. pygidialis Ohaus y R. sanguinolenta Waterhouse.A taxonomic key to identify the 65 species gathered is included. Biological and ecological commentsfor these species are also provided. 2006 artículo científico 0065-1737 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57522201 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=575 Acta Zoológica Mexicana (nueva serie) application/pdf Instituto de Ecología, A.C.
